Russia-Ukraine War: France Warns Putin That NATO Has Nukes As Well

Nuclear weapons, which are available to both the US and Russia, are being viewed as a significant threat, as well as other western powers in the region – the United Kingdom and France – as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine enters its second day – at least 137 people were killed in yesterday’s fighting, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

Vladimir Putin recently stated his willingness towards using nuclear missiles in response to what he perceives as a threat from the West.

What other western countries said about this situation?

On Thursday US President Joe Biden addressed the danger of nuclear attacks that was inherent in Russia’s ‘warning’ – President Vladimir Putin had warned of “the biggest consequences in history” if any country were to interfere.

“I have no idea what Putin is threatening. “I’m aware of his actions.” The following is what president Joe Biden said.

Putin’s statement, according to French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, is comparable to a threat to deploy nuclear weapons.

Le Drian also warned Putin that NATO, an intergovernmental military group that Ukraine is attempting to push to join amidst Russia’s reservations, has nukes as well.

In the back-and-forth between Russia and NATO, Putin clearly indicates his willingness to use nuclear missiles in reply to what he sees as a threat from the West as recently as December last year.

Those comments were made in reference to intermediate-range nuclear weapons, which have a capability of 500 to 5,500 kilometres and have been banned in Europe since a 1987 accord.
