The US President deliberately supports the hype on the topic of the threat of the use of nuclear weapons after Vladimir Putin’s statement on the Valdai. Alexey Pushkov, a member of the Federation Council, expressed his opinion in the Telegram channel.
“The President of Russia has made it clear: there is no sense for Russia to launch a nuclear strike on Ukraine. But the United States is still striving to keep the nuclear issue in the information field,” the senator said.
The day before, Joe Biden said that Putin’s periodic returns to the topic of nuclear weapons allegedly run counter to statements about the absence of plans for their use. He also said that the Russian president cannot continue to talk about the use of weapons of mass destruction with impunity. This is how the American leader reacted to the wordsVladimir Putin on “Valdai” that Moscow does not need a nuclear strike on Ukraine. The Russian President also called on those who insist on the opposite to study Russia’s military doctrine.
In turn, Vladimir Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov called the daily exercises of the United States and European countries in nuclear rhetoric provocative and harmful practice.
