Putin threatens NATO with war: “Only one step away”. Putin recently spoke again about the use of a nuclear bomb on Russian state television and in his state of the nation speech.

In this context, too, Putin warned NATO states not to send troops to Ukraine. The accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO has also recently been a reason for Putin's threats. “If we stand together, I think everyone has understood that, then nothing and no one can intimidate and oppress us," Putin said in his speech on election evening.
