Putin Expresses Hope Nuclear Weapons Unnecessary in Ukraine.
In a recent broadcast on Russian state television, President Vladimir Putin addressed the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, stating that the necessity for deploying nuclear weapons has not arisen and expressing his hope that it will not.
Published via Telegram as a segment of an upcoming interview, Putin asserted that Russia possesses sufficient strength and resources to achieve its desired outcome in Ukraine. When questioned about Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory, he emphasized that the use of nuclear weapons remains unwarranted and, optimistically, will remain so.
The statement comes amidst ongoing conflict since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. While Russia controls approximately 20% of Ukrainian territory, recent weeks have seen Putin express a willingness to negotiate a peaceful resolution, echoing similar sentiments from US President Donald Trump.
The potential for nuclear escalation has been a significant concern for international observers, particularly within the United States government. Former CIA Director William Burns indicated a period of heightened risk in late 2022. Putin’s recent comments, while cautious, may offer a modicum of reassurance amidst persistent global anxieties.
