Millions of Russians are also engaging in mandatory emergency drills, on what to do in case there's a nationwide disaster.



It looks like Cold War II has begun.

What is the new Cold War even about?

This is not a new Cold War.  We need to stop treating Russia as a superpower.  They are not.  This is a declining regional power that is lashing out as it fades into irrelevance.  
You don't need superpowers to have a cold war...

And declining regional powers lashing out can do a lot of damage, see: history.
