An attempt to defeat or weaken Russia could bring the world to the brink of a nuclear cataclysm. Such a message is sent by Vladimir Putin to colleagues in the West. The New York Times (NYT) writes about it.
The authors of the NYT believe that Russian President Vladimir Putin “rethought” the conflict in Ukraine and made it clear what it could turn out to be for the world. By mobilizing in Russia, Putin is turning the war into a defensive stage, the newspaper writes.
“Russia won its defensive wars against Napoleon and Hitler, and the most important thing that Putin did here from a psychological point of view is to declare that this is also a defensive war,” the publication quotes experts.
The words of the Russian president about the readiness to use nuclear weapons have presented the West with a dilemma that has existed since the beginning of the conflict: how far active military support for the Kyiv regime can go. The NYT notes that “a game of brinkmanship has begun” with U.S. and Russian officials looking to play each other as the conflict escalates.
