Why did Russia issue a nuclear threat to NATO, this time it was said by Putin himself, and it is estimated that Western countries are scared of their legs.
Recent information shows that in his State of the Union address, Putin emphasized that the Russian strategic nuclear forces are in a state of full readiness.
Putin said that Western countries are trying to drag Russia into a new arms race and warned that if NATO countries send troops to Ukraine, this could provoke a large-scale conflict using nuclear **.
Putin also mentioned that Russia's "Dagger" hypersonic missile and "Sarmat" missile have been put into actual combat, and at the same time, the test work of the "Haiyan" nuclear-powered cruise missile and the "Poseidon" system is about to be completed.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that if Ukraine is defeated, NATO may break out into a military conflict with Russia.
In addition, the United States, France and other countries have expressed concern about Russia's warning of the risk of nuclear war and stressed that there are no plans to send troops to fight in Ukraine. Germany and other countries have also denied the possibility of "sending troops to Ukraine".
In this situation, China's spokesperson Mao Ning said that a nuclear war cannot be won and cannot be fought, and China has always advocated that all nuclear countries uphold the concept of common security and maintain global strategic balance and stability.
Mao Ning also stressed that all parties should work together to de-escalate the situation, reduce strategic risks, remain calm and exercise restraint, and build a balanced, effective and sustainable European security architecture through dialogue and consultation.
Overall, there is indeed a certain amount of tension and uncertainty in the current international situation, but the official statements of many countries show that they are trying to reduce tensions through diplomatic and political means and avoid further military escalation.
