Putin: No One Can Win A Nuclear War by Hermzou: 6:06pm On Aug 01, 2022
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday there could be no winners in a nuclear war and no such war should ever be started. The Kremlin leader made the comment in a letter to participants of a conference on The nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT), more than five months into his war on Ukraine.
"We proceed from the fact that there can
be no winners in a nuclear war and it
should never be unleashed, and we stand
for equal and indivisible security for all
members of the world community," he
said.
His words to the NPT forum appeared
aimed at striking a reassuring note and
portraying Russia as a responsible nuclear
power.
They contrasted with earlier statements
by Putin and other Russian politicians that
have been interpreted in the West as
implicit nuclear threats.
In a speech on Feb. 24, as he launched
the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Putin
pointedly referred to Russia's nuclear
arsenal and warned outside powers that
any attempt to interfere would "lead you to
such consequences that you have never
encountered in your history". Days later, he ordered Russia's nuclear Forces to be put on high alert. The war has raised geopolitical tensions to levels not seen since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, with politicians in both Russia and the United States speaking publicly of the risk of World War Three.
CIA director William Burns said in April that given the setbacks Russia had suffered in Ukraine, none of us can take lightly the threat posed by a potential resort to tactical nuclear weapons or low-yield nuclear weapons."
Russia, whose military doctrine allows for the use of nuclear weapons in the event of an existential threat to the Russian state, has accused the West of waging a proxy war against it by arming Ukraine and imposing sanctions on Moscow.
Earlier on Monday, a Russian foreign ministry source questioned the seriousness of comments by U.S. President Joe Biden calling for talks on a nuclear arms control framework to replace a treaty expiring in 2026. In April, Russia conducted a first test launch of its new Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, capable of mounting nuclear strikes against the United States, and said it planned to deploy the weapons
by autumn.
