International pressure pushed Russia away from nuclear power, says Olaf Scholz
“At the moment, one thing has changed: Russia has ceased to threaten the use of nuclear weapons,” the chancellor said in an interview with the German media group Funke and Ouest France. He sees this as a consequence of the fact that the international community, including China, “drawn a red line” in Moscow on this issue.
“We have put an end to this for now,” Olaf Scholz says of the risk of nuclear escalation.
Putin recognizes “protracted” conflict and relativizes the use of nuclear weapons
“We are not crazy, we know what nuclear weapons are,” Vladimir Putin said during a video conference in front of his Human Rights Council, an organization completely subordinate to the Kremlin.
After several threats to use them from Russian officials in recent months, he stressed that the weapon was a “means of defense” that it was designed to “retaliate and retaliate.” This time, he once again justified the offensive he launched over nine months ago.
Although, “of course, it’s a long process,” he admitted.
