Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the anti-nuclear weapon team ready.
Putin ordered the military to be on high alert following a series of high-profile clashes with Western powers over Ukraine. In talks with senior officials today, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) said it was issuing a strong statement and was imposing sanctions.
The order was given to the country's military leaders. It is feared that this will exacerbate the situation and lead to an unwanted Nuclear_War.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned of "severe retaliation" against those involved in the conflict, including sanctions.
