Biden says Putin's nuclear threat brings risk of 'Armageddon'

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s threat to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine has brought the world closer to “Armageddon” than at any time since the Cold-War Cuban Missile Crisis, US President Joe BidenWith his seven-month invasion unravelling, Putin celebrated his 70th birthday on Friday, October 7, with fawning praise from some officials but little public fuss.

Russian news site RBC said on Friday Moscow had sacked the commander of its Eastern Military District. A day earlier, one Russian-installed leader in occupied Ukrainian territory went as far as suggesting Putin’s defense minister should have shot himself. “We always give the prize for something and to something, and not against someone,” she told reporters.

In Geneva, the UN Human Rights Council passed a motion to appoint an independent expert on human rights abuse allegations in Russia, accusing Moscow of creating a “climate of fear” through repression and violence. Public observation of the birthday was otherwise muted. A video circulated on pro-Russian social media channels showing a crowd of a few hundred youths in central St Petersburg waving Russian flags, and holding up red umbrellas to spell out “Putin – My President”. By late afternoon such images had not appeared on Russia’s major broadcasters.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, launched on Februry 24, has already killed thousands, displaced millions, pulverized cities and damaged the global economy.
