“This is not the first time we have seen irresponsible rhetoric from Vladimir Putin,” Miller said.
According to him, such statements from the leader of a state with nuclear weapons are unacceptable.
“We have communicated privately and directly with Russia in the past about the consequences of using nuclear weapons,” the speaker added.
He said that so far there are no signs that Russia is preparing to use nuclear weapons. But the US continues to closely monitor the situation.
What Putin said
Let us remind you that today, February 29, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin addressed the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation.
The head of the Kremlin, in particular, began to boast about the weapons that Russia has, including missiles capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.
He threatened to “demonstrate” Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles, which are supposedly capable of flying 18 thousand kilometers.
For more details about the weapons that Putin mentioned in his speech, see the RBC-Ukraine article.
