President Vladimir Putin has threatened to reach into Russia’s arsenal of nuclear weapons if Europe thinks of sending troops into Ukraine. This is not the first time he has rattled the nuclear sabre. He has done so three times in the past two years, since this war began: once at the outset of the war against Ukraine two years ago. once when he was losing ground in October 2022 and once again last week, as he senses that battlefield victory might only be a matter of time. Watch the video to find out the underlying purpose behind Putin’s nuclear threat. #vladimirputin #nuclearwar #russiaukrainewar n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
