Russian President Putin has dropped the first hint at a potential war in Ukraine. Putin has warned the US and NATO of taking 'military measures' amid rising tensions over Ukraine. The Russian President also said that Russia had ‘nowhere to retreat’ in a standoff with the US. Experts say this is a clear sign that Moscow is gearing up for war. Meanwhile, Dmitry Kiselyov, head of a Russian state media, sent a chilling threat to the West. Kiselyov warned US-NATO of a nuclear war where 'everyone will be turned into radioactive ash'. Another Russian state media also reportedly said that 'maybe we really are on the verge of war with NATO’. #RussiaNATO. #RussiaWarning. #RussiaUSNATO. #RussiaUkraineConflict.
