Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that there is no necessity to deploy nuclear weapons in the ongoing conflict with Ukraine. Speaking on the matter, Putin emphasized that he hopes such extreme measures will never be required.
"We have sufficient strength and the necessary means to bring this conflict to a reasonable conclusion," the Russian leader said, underscoring Moscow's confidence in achieving its strategic objectives without resorting to nuclear escalation.
Putin's remarks appear aimed at calming international concerns over the potential for the war to intensify into a broader or more destructive confrontation. The statement comes amid ongoing global calls for de-escalation and renewed diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis.
