The announcement, aimed in part at showcasing Russia’s nuclear arsenal, came two days after Mr. Putin said that Russia will pull back from the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty with the U.S. It comes on the eve of the first anniversary of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, a conflict that has exposed serious shortcomings of capabilities of the Russian military, which has struggled to advance on the battlefield in Ukraine in recent months.

“As before, we will pay increased attention to strengthening the nuclear triad,” Mr. Putin said in an address marking a national holiday in Russia that honors the country’s armed forces. Russia’s nuclear arsenal includes air, land and sea delivery systems.
Mr. Putin touted the Sarmat in 2018, boasting that it could reach any point on the globe. But earlier this week, Russia conducted a test launch of the Sarmat ICBM. The test, which was carried out at its Plesetsk launch site, nearly 500 miles north of Moscow, was a failure, according to U.S. officials.
The Kremlin didn’t comment on the outcome of the test, directing requests for comment to Russia’s Ministry of Defense, which also didn’t respond.
