Is Putin planning to start a nuclear war against Ukraine? What we know so far

India TV News  

Russia started invading Ukraine over 50 days ago, and the world has been in terror of nuclear war ever since. 'Putin could get desperate enough to use nukes in Ukraine': CIA The CIA director warned that the US can't "take lightly" the threat of Russian President Vladimir Putin using nuclear weapons in Ukraine, reported business insider. "Given the potential desperation of President Putin and the Russian leadership, given the setbacks that they've faced so far, militarily, none of us can take lightly the threat posed by a potential resort to tactical nuclear weapons or low-yield nuclear weapons," Burns said in remarks at Georgia Tech in Atlanta. Earlier, he made a similar announcement and said nuclear weapons could not be ruled out with Vladimir Putin considering the move as Russia's war with Ukraine stalls. Russia says 'would use nuclear deterrent on Ukraine in case of an "existential threat"' Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesman, told news agency CNN that Russia would use a nuclear deterrent on Ukraine in the event of an "existential threat".
