Putin threatens nuclear weapons capable of “destroying civilization” after Macron's idea of sending troops to Ukraine. “We remember the fate of those who once sent their contingents to our territory, but the consequences will now be much more tragic,” warns the Russian president in his annual speech.
It is not the first time in these two years of war that Putin threatens to go all the way if the West helps Kiev, although so far there has been no response. "This is not a bluff," the president already said in September 2022, when Russia annexed on paper four regions of Ukraine.
