If NATO countries send troops to Ukrainian soil, there will be "tragic consequences".
But not only that: the West's rhetoric risks "a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons and, as a result, the destruction of civilization."
Vladimir Putin is once again threatening the West: "The West is creating ways to scare the whole world, all this really threatens a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons and, consequently, the destruction of civilization," he said in a speech to the nation before Federal Assembly.
The master father of Russia reminds us that Moscow has weapons that can hit targets on the territory of Western countries and repeats that the Russian troops involved in the war in Ukraine "will not retreat, will not disappoint us and will not betray us."
If Kiev loses, NATO faces Russia
"If Ukraine falls, I really believe that NATO will fight with Russia."
This is what the head of the Pentagon, Lloyd Austin, said before the Defense Committee of the US House of Representatives, Ukrainska Pravda reports.
"We know that if Putin is successful" in Ukraine, he will not stop. It will continue to take more aggressive action in the region. And other leaders around the world, other autocrats around the world will look at this and be encouraged by the fact that this happened and that we failed to maintain a democracy. If you're a Baltic state, you're really worried about whether you'll be next. They know Putin. They know what he is capable of," he underlined
While the EU rejects Putin's threats as part of the rhetoric of the election campaign.
"Putin's speech should be seen in the context of the upcoming presidential elections" on March 15-17. This is one of many examples of how Putin is trying to deflect blame from the war," said a European Commission spokesman, according to which " all these threats with nuclear weapons are absolutely unacceptable and inappropriate, but he is the one who started the war and brings instability. It is essentially deceiving the nation, which lives under the iron fist of repression reminiscent of Stalin's time,” he added.
In Strasbourg, the European Parliament overwhelmingly adopted a non-binding resolution to encourage the Commission and member states to do everything possible to ensure that Kiev wins this fight.
There should be "no self-imposed limitations on military aid to Ukraine", says the European Parliament, which should include munitions, missiles and even air defense systems.
In addition, all EU and NATO allies should support Ukraine militarily with at least 0.25% of their annual GDP, say MEPs, who call on EU countries to immediately start a dialogue with businesses in the defense sector to ensure increased production and distribution of ammunition, shells. and missiles in Ukraine.
The European Chamber also adopted another resolution in which it attributes sole criminal and political responsibility for the death of Navalny to Putin and the Russian state.
The funeral of the great opponent will take place tomorrow, where the chargé d'affaires of the Italian embassy in Moscow will also participate, while the Russian embassy in Italy has not issued entry visas for the parliamentarians.
Meanwhile, the movements of the self-proclaimed republic of Transnistria are being monitored on the Moldovan border, which yesterday asked for Moscow's help against alleged Moldovan pressure. "Russia has been exploiting minorities in Ukraine for years.
In Moldova, Putin uses the same scenario with the separatists of Transnistria", declared the German Foreign Minister, Annalena Baerbock, according to which "no country is Russia's backyard and must be destabilized".
The European Union is closely following the evolution of the situation, reports a Commission spokesman. "We believe that stability in this region is in everyone's interest - he underlines - first of all in the interest of the population on both banks of the Dniester River and in this context we encourage both sides to engage in a constructive dialogue".
