Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, said that there can be no winner in a nuclear war, so it should not be decided.
About this way of the statement in congratulations to the participants of the X Conference on the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, Russian media report.
We proceed from the premise that there can be no winners in a nuclear war and it must never be resolved,” Putin said.
Putin also said that Russia “consistently follows the letter and spirit” of this agreement.
It should be added that earlier Russian officials made statements about the possibility of nuclear war and the use of nuclear weapons by Russia.
In particular, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said in May that NATO’s military assistance to Ukraine “increases the likelihood of a direct and open conflict” between the Alliance and the Russian Federation, which “always has the risk of going into a full-fledged nuclear war.”
Putin himself on February 28, a few days after the start of a large-scale invasion of Ukraine, transferred the Russian strategic deterrence forces, which include nuclear weapons, “to a special mode of combat duty.”
Recall that Putin in 2018 stated that Moscow had created the latest nuclear weapons, which had no analogues, and it would “make you think” about the world.
