Vladimir Putin’s nuclear bombers have been spotted in the skies over western Russia following the sinking of his warship in the Black Sea.
Footage shows four Russian Tu-95s, known as Bears, flying in the Kaluga region, within striking distance of Ukraine.
Moscow has previously used long-range bombers to strike the besiged city of Mariupol and Kyiv with non-nuclear cruise missiles.
But it’s feared the Russian president may escalate his attacks after Ukrainian missiles reportedly destroyed his flagship Moskva.
The Black Sea missile cruiser was a huge force in the Russian naval front, battering Odesa and Mariupol.

Putin’s cronies said it sank on stormy seas after a fire caused by exploding ammunition – but Ukraine claims it was brought down with two Neptune missiles.
The ship first hit the headlines a few days into the invasion, when a Ukrainian soldier was filmed saying ‘go f*** yourself, Russian warship’ as its crew threatened to shell Snake Island.
