On Thursday (local time), Russian President Vladimir Putin denied having any plans to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine but characterised the situation there as a component of Western attempts to establish worldwide dominance.
Putin said it would be futile for Russia to use nuclear weapons to attack Ukraine while speaking at a gathering of worldwide specialists on foreign policy.
Putin stated, “We see no need for such. “There is no point in that, neither political nor military.
”
Putin said that his earlier threat to use “all means available to safeguard Russia” was just a response to Western rhetoric and did not amount to nuclear sabre-rattling.
He specifically brought up Liz Truss’ August statement that she would be prepared to deploy nuclear weapons if she were prime minister of Britain, which he claimed alarmed the Kremlin.
What were we expected to believe? said Putin. “We interpreted that as a planned strategy, an attempt to blackmail us.
“Putin accused the United States and its allies of seeking to impose their rules on other countries in a “dangerous, brutal, and ugly” conquest game in a lengthy address filled with diatribes.
Putin has portrayed Western assistance for Ukraine as a component of a larger drive by Washington and its allies to impose their will on others through the establishment of a rules-based global order. He argued that a tipping moment had been reached in the world.
The majority of countries no longer wish to tolerate the West’s attempts to impose its will on humanity, despite the fact that it can no longer do so.
He who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind, the Russian leader said, adding that Western actions will cause further turmoil.
The Russian leader reiterated Moscow’s unsupported claim that Ukraine was planning a false flag strike using a radioactive dirty bomb without providing any supporting information.
Both Ukraine and its Western supporters have categorically denied the assertion, labelling it as “transparently false.” Ukraine asserted that Russia may be using the unsubstantiated claim as a pretext for its own potential plan to deploy a dirty bomb.
According to Putin, Russia is aware of the Ukrainian facilities involved in the initiative.
He denied underestimating Ukraine’s ability to fight back and insisted that his “special military operation” has proceeded as planned.
In addition, Putin acknowledged the difficulties brought about by Western sanctions, but asserted that Russia has shown itself to be robust to outside pressure and has grown more united.
In Ukraine, Putin claims he won’t use nuclear weapons.
