President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that Russia regularly carries out nuclear exercises and its latest drills this week are not an escalation, APA reports citing Reuters.

Putin said the only difference this time is that the exercises also involve Belarus, where Russia announced last year that it was deploying tactical nuclear missiles.

He was speaking at a press conference in Minsk following two days of talks with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko.
