Russian Ambassador says nuclear weapons has always served in history as a deterrent
Feb 28th, 2022 | Category: GLEANER PREMIUM | 14:45#JamaicaGleaner #Russia #Ukraine #War #NuclearWeapons #NATO FEBRUARY 28, 2022: Less than 48 hours before Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the military to activate its deterrence forces, which include nuclear weapons, Moscow’s man in Kingston, Ambassador Sergey Petrovich, sought to downplay a nuclear conflict as the war in Ukraine escalates. Putin’s assertion – viewed by Moscow as insurance but seen as a threat by the West – has served to inflame tensions in Eastern Europe as NATO and other allies seek to tighten the noose on Russian aggression by cutting off its link to the global payment system, closing airspace to Russian planes, and pledging artillery to Ukraine’s military and civilian fighters.
