Vladimir Putin promised the use of nuclear weapons in an interview. Russia is ready to do this at any time if necessary. The UN Nuclear Regulatory Authority and the White House are now trying to get things under control – and try to alleviate the situation.
The head of the UN Nuclear Regulatory Agency, Rafael Grossi, currently does not expect the use of nuclear weapons, despite threats from Russian President Vladimir Putin. “I don’t think we currently see conditions for the use of nuclear weapons when we talk about the war in Ukraine,” Grossi told reporters in Tokyo. Grossi met Putin in Russia last week.
The White House makes everything clear
According to a spokeswoman, the US government has no indication that Russia plans to use nuclear weapons in the war in Ukraine. The White House has no indications “that Russia is preparing to use a nuclear weapon in Ukraine,” spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters aboard the presidential plane Air Force One on Wednesday.
The background to the debate is the recent threats from the highest Russian authorities. Putin said in an interview this week that Russia is technically ready for nuclear war if the survival of the Russian state is threatened. Putin said he does not believe everything is heading towards a nuclear confrontation, “but we are ready for it.”
Putin blames the US
The Russian ruler also accused the US of planning to resume nuclear weapons tests. In such a case, Russia would also consider starting new nuclear weapons tests.
Putin emphasized that Russia’s nuclear arsenal is one of the most modern in the world. According to him, the US is currently in the process of renewing its nuclear weapons.
Efforts are being made to explore the capabilities of the new warheads not only on the computer, but also to test them in real tests. “We know about it. And we will be watching too,” he said. He provided no evidence to support his claims about US plans.
