US responds to Vladimir Putin’s musing on risks of nuclear war; Ukrainian president says ‘every metre counts’ defending city in Donetsk region
Putin dedicated some of his remarks on Wednesday to questions about the potential for nuclear war, which he said was growing more likely due to the conflict with the west.
This threat is increasing, I can’t deny it,” Putin said in response to a question, adding that Russia would not use those weapons first.
We have not gone crazy, we are aware of what nuclear weapons are. We have these means, and they are more advanced and more modern than those of any other nuclear country. As of today, this is an obvious fact.
