RUSSIA SET TO ENHANCE ITS NUCLEAR POTENTIAL


RIA Novosti political analyst Andrei Kislyakov

Russia's Defence Minister Sergei Ivanov said in late December 2003 that he would inform President Vladimir Putin about specific aspects of developing the country's strategic nuclear forces in 2004 early next year. "We intend to streamline all strategic nuclear forces still further, enhancing the quality and efficiency of our nuclear triad, first and foremost," Ivanov told a traditional conference involving the President and Government members.

As far as national pride is concerned, the Minister's statement makes one quite optimistic. But how will the implementation of these plans influence global strategic stability?
