Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov believes that it is Western countries that are threatening to use nuclear weapons, and not Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Source: Lavrov at a press conference on Thursday, January 18.
Direct speech: “Everyone just says that Putin threatens with a nuclear bomb, although this has never been said (by Putin – ed.), unlike the Europeans and Americans. The same Germans said: “Putin should know that we also have nuclear weapons “. Repeatedly. The former prime minister (of Great Britain – ed.) said: “I will not hesitate to press the button.”
What preceded:
- Russia has repeatedly threatened the world with a “nuclear apocalypse.” Most often this is done through statements by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev.
- In particular, in September 2022, he stated that Ukraine’s application to NATO would accelerate the start of the Third World War.
- In July 2023, Medvedev said that a nuclear winter could be avoided if the West complied with all Russia’s demands. In addition, he directly threatened the use of nuclear weapons if the Ukrainian counteroffensive was successful.
- In August, he frightened the world with an apocalypse due to Ukrainian attacks on the occupiers in Crimea.
