Russia has deployed the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles, also known as "Satan II," which are capable of carrying multiple nuclear warheads and intended to replace older missile systems. President Vladimir Putin's move is seen as a strategic message to the United States and NATO, emphasizing Russia's nuclear capabilities and deterrence. The deployment is part of Russia's escalate to de-escalate strategy, aimed at deterring intervention in Ukraine. While the risk of unintended escalation and a direct war between Russia and the US remains a concern, Putin understands that Washington fears such a conflict and plays up the nuclear card accordingly.
