(Worthy News) – Russian President Vladimir Putin warned the West that his country was technically ready for a nuclear war although he was not rushing to use nuclear weapons, however, his nuclear saber rattling was a warning to the West as NATO troops are being considered for deployment in Ukraine and Putin stated, “Weapons exist in order to use them.”
In a interview with state media Rossiya-1 television and news agency RIA, Putin declared, “From a military-technical point of view, we are, of course, ready,” adding, “Therefore, I don’t think that everything here is rushing to it [nuclear confrontation], but we are ready for this.”
On Wednesday, he further elaborated that the Kremlin’s nuclear doctrine covers the potential use of nuclear weapons, stating, “Weapons exist in order to use them. We have our own principles.”
Putin recently proposed a ceasefire in Ukraine to temporarily halt the hostilities, a suggestion that was declined by the U.S. according to Putin. On Wednesday, he underscored Russia’s readiness for meaningful dialogue on Ukraine, emphasizing, “Russia is ready for negotiations on Ukraine, but they should be based on reality.”
Despite Russian forces holding nearly 20% of Ukrainian territory, where the majority speaks Russian as their first language, Western leaders continue to promise Russia’s defeat as the war wages on for over two years.
