Putin: Nuclear Triad remains main guarantor of Russia's sovereignty
Moscow - Saba: Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that the nuclear triad will remain the guarantor of Russia's sovereignty, noting that it plays a pivotal role in ensuring the balance of power in the world. According to Sputnik, Putin added during a meeting on the government's arms program: "Special attention must be paid to the nuclear triad (i.e., the three military vehicles carrying nuclear weapons: strategic bombers, land-based ballistic missiles, and submarine-launched ballistic missiles), which has been and remains the guarantor of Russia's sovereignty and plays a key role in ensuring the balance of power in the world." Putin explained that the share of modern weapons in Russia's strategic nuclear forces is 95%, the highest percentage among all nuclear powers in the world. Putin indicated that the focus of the new government arms program should be on developing the most modern weapons systems, saying: "It is also clear that the focus of the new government program should be on creating the most modern weapons systems." He added, "In April of this year (2025), we discussed how to increase the volume of supplies and improve the efficiency of using weapons and equipment to solve the tasks of the special military operation. The measures identified then are being implemented." He continued, "However, these measures, in essence, are operational in nature and are being implemented as soon as possible, in real time, based on current needs." He added, "Today we will begin a series of traditional special working meetings, during which we will analyze the main parameters of the upcoming state armament program." Putin called for strengthening the combat capabilities of the Russian Ground Forces as quickly as possible and creating a reserve for their development. Putin emphasized the need for Russia to take into account global trends in the development of military technologies, noting the growing number of countries actively working in this direction. Earlier in the day, Sergei Ryabkov, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, stated that Russia's nuclear deterrent capability was not affected by the Ukrainian drone attack on Russian military airfields.

President congratulates Russian counterpart
Sana'a - Saba: President of the Supreme Political Council Mahdi al-Mashat on Wednesday sent a congratulatory cable to President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin on the occasion of the friendly Russian people's celebration of Sovereignty Day. The cable read: As your friendly people celebrate Sovereignty Day, I am pleased to extend to Your Excellency my warmest congratulations, along with my cordial wishes for good health, happiness, and further development for your friendly country. As your friendly people celebrate Sovereignty Day, it gives me great pleasure to extend to Your Excellency my warmest congratulations, along with my sincere wishes for your continued health and happiness, and for further growth and prosperity for your friendly country. The Russian role is highly regarded and relied upon in restoring global balance and curbing the blind imperialism that seeks to dominate the sovereignty of nations and interfere in their internal affairs to control the wealth of peoples. We hope that Russia's future role will further promote global peace and stability for all societies and nations—foremost among them the Palestinian cause, as the Palestinian people face genocide at the hands of the brutal Zionist machine, under the cover of American imperialism. Such actions stand in stark violation of all international covenants and agreements. We would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm our country's keenness to deepen the bonds of friendship with your nation in all fields, in a manner that enhances both regional and international security and stability.
