Even Putin's generals looked stunned: Military chiefs are caught in the headlights as Vlad orders his nuclear deterrent forces to go on 'alert' with a decree that shocked the world

Vladimir Putin's closest advisers appeared perturbed when he dropped his bombshell about readying nuclear weapons yesterday.

The expressions of army general Valery Gerasimov and defence minister Sergey Shoygu were caught on camera as the Russian president put his atomic arsenal on stand-by.

A senior US defence official said last night Putin's step is 'potentially putting in play forces that if there's a miscalculation could make things much, much more dangerous'.

A senior US defence official said last night Putin's step is 'potentially putting in play forces that if there's a miscalculation could make things much, much more dangerous'.

And a senior White House official described it as 'yet another escalatory and totally unnecessary step'.

They said in a statement: 'At every step of this conflict, Putin has manufactured threats to justify more aggressive actions.

'He was never under threat from Ukraine or from Nato, which is a defensive alliance that will not fight in Ukraine.

'The only reason his forces face a threat today is because they invaded a sovereign country, and one without nuclear weapons.'

Max Bergmann, a former State Department official, called Putin's talk predictable but dangerous sabre-rattling. 'Things could spiral out of control,' he warned.
