Russia carried out nuclear military training in Belarus in May, but President Vladimir Putin has so far stopped short of making direct nuclear threats to Kyiv. Despite urging from Russian politicians, Putin has stated that Ukraine’s strikes do not inflict sufficient damage to necessitate a nuclear response from his government.
Last month, Saint Petersburg MP Viktor Perov encouraged his colleagues in the assembly to request that Putin use nuclear weapons against Ukraine.
“Our president was compelled to initiate the special military operation, yet, regrettably, everything did not proceed as planned. Therefore, I believe that you, the deputies, should appeal to the president to begin utilizing nuclear weapons… which would compel the leadership of Ukraine to sign a peace agreement,” Perov remarked.
