On Russian TV, a threat of nuclear war was once again made to NATO, while Vladimir Putin's army is waging a full-scale war in Ukraine for the third year.
Propagandist Dmitry Kiselyov said on state television that if NATO sends its troops to Ukraine to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, Moscow will retaliate with the launch of Sarmat, Avangard and Avangard missiles. and “Yars“.
The host recalled Putin's apocalyptic threat that it would be better if the world didn't exist if Russia wasn't in it. Kiselyov said Russia will attack US decision-making centers as well as land and sea launchers.
The Russian TV presenter, in addition to the US, directly threatened France, which must be “disarmed”, as well as Great Britain, which could be sunk. “We have the technology to do this”, said Kiselyov.
The idea that nuclear war could break out amid the conflict in Ukraine has been repeatedly echoed by many Russian officials, including Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's former president and prime minister. Putin said during his annual address to the nation in Moscow on February 29 that his “strategic nuclear forces are on full alert”. The Russian leader said in September 2022 that Russia would be ready to use nuclear weapons to defend its “territorial integrity”, adding that “this is not a bluff”.
