Recently, the Russian leadership has repeatedly made statements regarding the possible use of nuclear weapons.
In particular, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov previously stated that Russia was prepared to use nuclear weapons should the state’s existence be threatened. He also claimed that the so-called "special military operation", as described by the Kremlin, had turned into a "full-scale war" due to Western support for Ukraine.
At the same time, the President of Finland, Alexander Stubb, stated that, according to Beijing’s assessment, Russia would not dare to use nuclear weapons. The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, had also previously warned of the risks of further escalation on the part of the Kremlin.
