Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a warning to the West, stating that Moscow is prepared for nuclear war. In a recent interview, Putin emphasized that Russia is technically equipped for nuclear conflict in the face of an existential threat. He asserted that weapons are meant to be utilized if necessary.
Concerns have arisen regarding the potential use of tactical nuclear weapons by Russia in Ukraine. Putin indicated that any deployment of U.S. troops to the region would be viewed as a significant escalation. Despite his readiness for nuclear confrontation, Putin acknowledged the presence of experts in Russian-American relations and strategic restraint in the U.S., suggesting that an immediate rush towards such a scenario is unlikely.
