NATO believes that Putin bluffs about nuclear weapons - the media

Currently, the North Atlantic Alliance does not see the direct threat of nuclear weapons use by Russia, but these statements are in itself quite dangerous. The Kremlin is aware of the consequences of such a step, says NATO Secretary General. Nuclear threats to the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin are now only "psychological intimidation", not a real plan. This opinion was expressed by NATO Secretary General Mirce Joan in an interview with the Spanish edition of El País.

"We see nuclear threats from Russian leaders at least from the beginning of the war two years ago. It is a great irresponsibility for such a nuclear superpower as Russia, which should act moderately," he said. Joan described Putin's rattling nuclear weapons as "a discourse that deepects into the logic of psychological intimidation, not real intentions.

" According to Joan, NATO does not see the direct threat of nuclear weapons use by Russia - rather, it is a psychological intimidation from the Russian Federation than real intentions. "But these statements are very dangerous because they undermine trust. Russia is aware of the consequences of such a step," the Alliance Deputy Secretary General said.

We will remind, on February 29 the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin threatened NATO with a nuclear blow in response to the introduction of troops into Ukraine. Putin stated that Western countries should understand that Russia also has a weapon that can affect targets in their territory. "They must eventually realize that we also have a weapon that can strike goals in their territory.

Everything that comes up with the West creates a real threat of conflict with the use of nuclear weapons, and therefore the destruction of civilization," Putin said during the annual message to the Russian Parliament. In response to the statement of the Russian President, a spokesman for US State Department Matthew Miller noted that the states do not see the threats of nuclear weapons by Moscow, but will continue to monitor it.
