Moscow: Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday ordered that lessons from the ongoing war in Ukraine be fully integrated into the country's new long-term state armament program, underlining the need to adapt to global military trends and strengthen Russia's nuclear and conventional forces.

According to Anadolu Agency, Putin emphasized the importance of formulating a new long-term program for the entire range of systems and types of weapons. This includes promising weaponry, making maximum use of the experience gained from the special military operation, various regional conflicts, and global trends in military technologies.
