Vladimir Putin today issued a chilling new threat to use nuclear weapons against the West over Ukraine, warning world leaders: ‘I’m not bluffing’.
The desperate despot gave an address to the nation this morning in which he announced the mobilisation of 300,000 military reserves – a first in Russia since the Second World War – and referendums in occupied areas of Ukraine to make them part of Russia.
He then vowed to use ‘all means’ to defend the new territories, saying: ‘If the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, we will without doubt use all available means to protect Russia and our people – this is not a bluff.’
