A Pro-Kremlin political analyst claims it's 'possible' Russian President Vladimir Putin would be willing to use nuclear weapons against Western countries including Britain.
It came as Putin warned Russia would 'use all means we have' to protect its territory and accused the West of 'nuclear blackmail', saying: "This is not a bluff." In a TV address, he announced a 'partial mobilisation' in Russia as the war in Ukraine approaches the seven-month mark - a move said to mean that as many as 300,000 reservists and people with past military experience are expected to be called up.
Putin accused the West of engaging in 'nuclear blackmail' and referenced what he called 'statements of some high-ranking representatives of the leading Nato states about the possibility of using nuclear weapons of mass destruction against Russia'.
