Quote from Zelenskyy: “Nobody knows what’s in his (Putin’s) head really. He could use nuclear (weapons) on any country at any time. Or not. I’m not sure that he will. I am sharing with you what I think. But I am not Putin, God Bless. I cannot know exactly. Because he is not always adequate. Because any adequate person cannot just come to Ukraine and do what he did.”
Details: In his words, Putin loves his life, his way of life and the way he controls the lives of others. “I can tell. And that’s why I think he has to be afraid to use nuclear weapons,” the president said.
Background:
- On 25 September, Putin announced that Russia would expand the conditions under which it is ready to use nuclear weapons.
- In response, the EU said that Putin’s new threats to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear states were further evidence of his irresponsible behaviour and would not change the EU’s position on continuing to support Ukraine.
- NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who is leaving his post at the end of September, expressed scepticism about Putin’s threats amid discussions about allowing Ukraine to launch long-range strikes against Russia.
- On 24 September, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine had evidence of Russia’s intentions to strike three nuclear power plants before winter.
