Earlier, EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell touched on Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to put the deterrence forces on alert in light of the rising tensions in Ukraine following the special military operation in the Donbass region.

At a meeting with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, and the Chief of the General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, Putin gave the order to put the deterrence forces of the Russian army to a special mode of combat duty.

Putin also accused NATO of stepping up its aggressive rhetoric against Moscow, going beyond what he called the "illegitimate" economic sanctions.

"This afternoon, Putin has announced that he is putting Russian nuclear deterrence forces on high alert, it is important to stress that the nuclear forces of Russia has been put on high alert," Borrell told reporters.
