Russia's warning / 'If there is a threat to our existence, we will use nuclear weapons' not the end of the 28-day war

The war between Russia and Ukraine, which has been going on for the last 28 days, is entering a dangerous phase. Efforts so far to stop it have proved insufficient. Neither the President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, is ready to surrender to Russia, nor is President Vladimir Putin ready to stop the war. Now Russia has warned that it will not back down from the use of nuclear weapons if its existence is threatened.

Russian President Putin's office Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told CNN International on Tuesday that Russia would use nuclear weapons during the Ukraine war only if its existence was threatened. Peskov said that we have a system for domestic security. It lays down the rules for the use of nuclear weapons. Anyone can read this rule. It is certain in these that if the existence of our country is in danger, then nuclear weapons can be used according to the rules.

Kremlin spokesman said this when Christian Amanpour, who interviewed him, asked if he was sure that President Putin would not opt ​​for nuclear weapons in Ukraine. Remember, on February 24, just four days after the attack on Ukraine, Putin put the country's strategic nuclear unit on high alert. The whole world was shocked by his move. This was considered an indirect threat to the use of nuclear weapons.

When asked for the reaction of the US defense establishment Pentagon on Peskov's statement, its spokesman John Kirby said that Russia's nuclear rage is dangerous. A responsible nuclear powered country should not make such statements. He also said that the Pentagon does not need to change its strategy regarding the Ukraine war. We are continuously monitoring the situation.
