In the 2022 speeches, Putin said he was willing to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. Such an attack would be the first battlefield use of atomic bombs since the United States detonated two over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in 1945.
In response, America has made clear that there will be substantial consequences for Russia if it uses nuclear weapons.
Russia seems to be back to the threatening nuclear war that sparked concern over Russia’s possible plans. As the United States and Nato prepare to announce a new shipment of military hardware for Ukraine and Kyiv pushes its Western partners for modern battle tanks and other heavy weapons.
Moscow responded Thursday with a familiar battery of threats of “nuclear war.” Deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, warned that if NATO allies allow Ukraine to defeat Russia, it could result in a nuclear war.
“The loss of a nuclear power in a conventional war can provoke the beginning of a nuclear war.”
If the threat is on the table, it may make Western leaders quit provoking Russia by providing Ukraine with advanced tanks and longer-range missiles and missile systems.
According to the Foreign Ministry, Russia may restore the use of nuclear weapons but only “in response to aggression involving the use of weapons of mass destruction or aggression with the use of conventional weapons when the state’s very existence is in jeopardy.
Striking an eerily similar note, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church professed in a Thursday sermon that “an attempt to destroy Russia would mean the end of the world.”
“Today there are very big threats to the world, to our country, and the whole human race, because some crazy people had the idea that the great Russian power, possessing powerful weapons, inhabited by very strong people who have always come out victorious, that they can be defeated,” said Patriarch Kirill, a backer of all Kremlin policy.
This week, Russian authorities put on a show of force. Putin gave orders to expand the Russian army by around 300,000 people, which would see the number of serving soldiers swell to 1.5 million over the next three years.
He also ordered a new army corps and two military districts to be established near European borders. The Kremlin called the planned military expansion a response to “the proxy war” it claims the West is waging against Russia in Ukraine.
Putin toured a defense enterprise, the Obukhovsky Plant in St. Petersburg, and told workers at the plant that Russia was justified in calling Ukraine a country full of “neo-Nazis,” He insisted that victory was “inevitable.”
