Putin threatens West with nuclear war if it sends troops to fight in Ukraine. “This is very dangerous because it could trigger the use of nuclear weapons,” the Russian leader said in his annual state of the nation address in Moscow.
His comments came after French President Emmanuel Macron suggested this week that NATO countries could send troops to Ukraine in the future. Putin described the comments as “ude” but specified that he would prefer the current president in the White House over former President Donald Trump.
