«Washington is pushing Kyiv to transfer hostilities to Russian territory, nuclear blackmail has been used,» the President of Russia Vladimir Putin said in a televised address on Wednesday.
According to him, the West has crossed every line in its aggressive anti-Russian policy. We constantly hear threats against our country and the people. Some irresponsible politicians in the West not only talk about plans to organize the supply of long-range offensive weapons to Ukraine, systems that will allow strikes against the Crimea and other regions of Russia.
«In Washington, London, Brussels, they are directly pushing Kyiv to transfer military operations to our territory, they are no longer hiding, they say that Russia should be defeated by all means on the battlefield, followed by the deprivation of economic, political, cultural, in general, any sovereignty, with complete plundering of our country,» the Russian President said.
Nuclear blackmail also came into play.

The President of the Russian Federation noted that this was not only about the shelling of Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, encouraged by the West, which threatens with a nuclear catastrophe, but also about the statements of some high-ranking representatives of the leading NATO states about the possibility and admissibility of using weapons of mass destruction against Russia — nuclear weapons.
«I would like to remind those who allow themselves such statements regarding Russia that our country also has various means of destruction, and with some components more modern than those of the NATO countries. If the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, we will certainly use all the means at our disposal to protect Russia and our people. This is not a bluff,» Vladimir Putin concluded.
Those who are trying to blackmail us with nuclear weapons should know that the wind rose can also turn in their direction.
