Putin boasts about nuclear arsenal: “Weapons exist to be used”. Putin is proud of Russia's "much more modern" nuclear forces compared to the USA.

In an interview he explains when a nuclear weapon could be used. But there is currently "no need" for deployment of nuclear weapons in Ukraine, Putin says. The Russian ruler believes that Russia's “nuclear triad” is in any case better positioned than its counterpart in the U.S. Russia is sticking to the agreement so far and may only carry out tests if the USA does so first.
