Putin warns that sending Western troops to Ukraine risks a global nuclear conflict
RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin vowed today to achieve Moscow’s goals in Ukraine and warned the West against deeper involvement.
He said any further involvement by the West in the “special military operation” would risk sparking a global nuclear conflict.
During his annual state of the nation address, which comes just ahead of next month’s presidential election, Mr Putin said he was determined to protect the gains made by Russia since its invasion of Ukraine began two years ago.
