client/title.list_title
NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoană said that the nuclear threat of Russian President Vladimir Putin is currently only a psychological intimidation
This was reported by Politico.
Geoană described Putin's threats as "a discourse that delves into the logic of psychological intimidation rather than real intentions".
"We do not see any imminent threat of Russia using these weapons. But these statements are in themselves very dangerous, because they erode trust. Russia knows the consequences of taking such a step," he added.
In addition, Geoană promised that NATO "continue to make sure that we support Ukraine and avoid escalation with Russia".
He also responded to Macron's proposal to deploy troops to Ukraine, saying that NATO respects the right of allies to propose new ideas, but has no plans to deploy troops to Ukraine.
- During his address to the Federal Assembly, Putin said that Russia has no plans to attack Europe, but has weapons that can hit targets on its territory.
- He also noted that rumours about Russia's deployment of nuclear weapons in space are an attempt to draw Russia into negotiations favourable to the United States.
- ISW analysts noted that Putin used rhetoric about negotiations and nuclear weapons in his recent speech to attract the West's attention.
