Putin: We're not using nuclear weapons.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has indicated that Russia had enough power and resources to bring the war to Ukraine to its logical conclusion, and that the use of nuclear weapons will not be necessary.

In a film broadcast by state television for the quarter century of Putin as Russia's top leader, titled “Russia, the Kremlin, Putin, 25 years”, the Kremlin chief was asked by a journalist about the risk of nuclear escalation from the war in Ukraine.

They wanted to provoke us, just like you said, they wanted us to make mistakes. There was no need to use nuclear weapons, and I hope their use will not be necessary. We have enough power and intentions to achieve what started in 2022, in a logical conclusion to the demands Russia requires”, Putin said, A2 writes.

Since the beginning of the war in February 2022, hundreds of thousands of soldiers have been killed or wounded, a fact that has alarmed US President Donald Trump, even though he has not been able to end this war.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksy has named Vladimir Putin's offer of a three-day ceasefire marking the 80th anniversary of victory over the Nazis. The “Russians are calling for silence on May 9th, but they themselves are hitting Ukraine every day. This is cynicism at the highest level”, he wrote on the telegram.

At that, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has posed a severe threat to Ukraine in the event of an attack on Moscow during World War II victory celebrations on May 9th. No one can guarantee that Ukrainian capital, Kiev, will survive until May 10th, the former president and prime minister said on Saturday in the service of short messages, Telegram. /Periscope/
