Putin warns of using nuclear weapons if Russia's sovereignty or independence is threatened.
Russian President Vladimir Putin warned again on 13 March that Russia is ready to use nuclear weapons if its sovereignty or independence is threatened, issuing another blunt warning to the West ahead of an election in which he's expected to secure another six-year term. Since launching a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, Putin has repeatedly spoken about his readiness to use nuclear weapons. In his state-of-the-nation address last month, he warned the West that deepening its involvement in the fighting in Ukraine would risk a nuclear war.
