Zelensky: Russia is not bluffing about using nuclear weapons.
Saying that Russia’s threat to use nuclear weapons for self-defense is real, the president of Ukraine claimed that the attacks near the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant are a form of nuclear blackmail.
The threat of senior officials of the Russian government to use nuclear weapons to defend themselves if the country’s territory is threatened was accompanied by Kiev’s concern.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said today (Monday) that in his opinion, Russian President Vladimir Putin was not bluffing when he spoke about Moscow’s readiness to use nuclear weapons.
According to the Reuters news agency, Zelensky, who previously described such warnings as just “nuclear blackmail,” said: “Look, it’s possible that these talks were a bluff in the past. But now they can act on themselves.”
In an interview with CBS, he explained: “But I don’t think he (Putin) is bluffing now. Of course, Russia’s attacks near the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant can also be considered as a kind of use of nuclear weapons or nuclear blackmail.
This morning, while referring to the receipt of advanced missile defense systems from the United States, Zelensky said that fierce clashes with Russian forces are underway on the front lines. (More details)
It was five days ago that the President of Russia announced limited military mobilization and said that Western countries are seeking to weaken, disintegrate and completely destroy Russia, but Moscow also has nuclear weapons and uses any means to defend itself.
