MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russia would continue developing its military potential and the combat readiness of its nuclear forces against the backdrop of Moscow's so-called special military operation in Western-backed Ukraine.

'The armed forces and combat capabilities of our armed forces are increasing constantly and every day. And this process, of course, we will build up on,' Putin said during a televised meeting with his country's high-ranking officers.
