"Everything the West is devising really leads to the threat of a conflict with nuclear weapons and therefore the annihilation of civilization."
Russian President Vladimir Putin said this in his speech to the nation.
"We too have weapons capable of reaching your territories."
President Vladimir Putin said this while addressing the West.
"They have tried in the past to fight Russia, but now the consequences will be very bad."
Putin added, stating that it is "nonsense" to say that Moscow wants to attack Europe.
