President Putin at the SPIEF. A frame from the video
During his speech at the SPIEF, President Vladimir Putin commented on the accusations against Russia that the Russian Federation allegedly threatens nuclear war.
The President stressed that the instigators of raising the degree of such rhetoric are Western and Ukrainian politicians: “One will blurt something out, then the other.” It is impossible to remain silent in response to this, but opponents interpret Russia’s responses as a threat.
“We are not threatening anything. But everyone should know that we have (nuclear weapons – MK,” Putin said. And he added: Russia can use it to protect its sovereignty in the event of a threat to it.
