Russian President Vladimir Putin hailed the annexation of Ukrainian territories as a major achievement and said his country's nuclear weapons serve as a tool of deterrence in the war that the Kremlin calls a 'special military operation.'

Putin, who has repeatedly said that Russia was ready to use “all available means” to protect its territory, including the annexed areas of Ukraine, rejected Western criticism that those statements amounted to nuclear saber-rattling.

His claim more than two months ago that the annexed regions belonged to Russia came after the Russian military lost ground to a Ukrainian counteroffensive and followed hastily staged “referendums” that were rejected by Ukraine and its Western allies as a sham. Private Ukrainian power utility Ukrenergo said temperatures in eastern areas where it was carrying out emergency repairs had dropped to as low as minus 17 degrees Celsius .

Lol. BS.

I guess you could think you could stop terrorism with a nuclear bomb but your not going to.

Ukraine doesn't exist.

He's boasting and bellicose because Ukraine's drones hit 300 miles into Russia.

Didn't Putin fall down the stairs and crap himself?

Putin literally had the world with his incredible resource riches and cast it away for the fantasy of empire

At least he did not say weapons of mass destruction.

Putin hat die ganze Welt zur Geißel gemacht, dank seiner Nuklearwaffen. Drohung reicht. Konventioneller Krieg wird einfach ausgesessen, weil er ungestraft die Bevölkerung terrorisieren darf.

They haven't updated their weapons in 50 years. I'd call them expensive paperweights at this point

Putin's strat: 'See this land here of this sovereign country? It's Russia's territory now because I said so and if anyone attacks Russia territory, well, we have nukes to defend ourselves.'

We can’t let him use nuclear threats as a cudgel

Say the line, Vlad

What would Biden do if China stood at the Mexican border?

Russia is now the world's laughing stock! 😂😂😂

FreePalestine

Putin: 'We haven’t gone mad.' Every sane human: 'He's mad.'

Scary AF.

He is a warcriminal and won't be in power much longer

I’ll smoke what Vlad is smoking!
