How dangerous is Russia right now?

Is Ukraine striking targets inside Russia?

Yes. Ukraine has hit Russian air bases, refineries, oil depots and other sites with long-range drones and missiles — among them the Engels and Dyagilevo air bases on 5 December 2022 and strategic bombers at several airfields on 1 June 2025 (“Operation Spiderweb”). Drones have repeatedly targeted Moscow since May 2023. Russia’s Defence Ministry publishes how many drones it says it shot down.

Has Russia violated NATO airspace?

Yes — for example Russian drones over Poland on 10 September 2025, some of which were shot down, and three MiG-31 jets over Estonia on 19 September 2025, Estonia says. Both led to consultations under NATO’s Article 4. Article 5, the collective-defence clause, has been invoked only once — after the 11 September 2001 attacks on the United States.

How many nuclear weapons does Russia have?

About 5,500 warheads, the world’s largest stockpile, according to Federation of American Scientists estimates for 2024; Russia does not publish its own figures. It suspended participation in the New START arms-control treaty on 21 February 2023.

When did Vladimir Putin come to power?

He became acting president on 31 December 1999, when Boris Yeltsin resigned, and was elected in March 2000. He was prime minister from 2008 to 2012, returned to the presidency in May 2012 and was re-elected in March 2024.
