Putin: "Possible atomic response to missiles in Kiev". Zelensky: "He wants to win, he won’t stop alone"

The goal of nuclear deterrence is to ensure that potential adversaries realize the inevitability of revenge in the event of aggression against Russia and its allies. Thus the Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, commented on Vladimir Putin’s signing of the decree on Russian nuclear doctrine.

Interfax reports it. Russia has always viewed nuclear weapons as a measure of deterrence, their use as a forced and extreme necessity, Peskov added.

The response of the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, was not long in coming. “Together, Ukraine, all of Europe and our partners in the United States and around the world, we have succeeded not only in preventing Putin from taking Ukraine but also in defending the freedom of all European nations. Even with Korea North of Kim Jong-un, Putin remains smaller than the united force of Europe. I ask us not to forget this and not to forget how much Europe is capable of achieving,” Zelensky said in his speech via video link to the European Parliament. .
