Putin: There can be no winners in a nuclear war.
During a statement issued to the media during the early hours of this morning by the Kremlin, Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that there can be no winner in a nuclear war and that such a war should never begin.
“There can be no winners in a nuclear war, and therefore such a war should never have started, and we stand for equality and individual security for all members of the world community,” it says, among other things.
These comments come at a time when the Secretary General of the United Nations warned the world today that “humanity is only a misunderstanding, a miscalculation away from nuclear annihilation”.
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres issued a dire warning ahead of a high-level meeting to review the historic 50-year-old treaty aimed at preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
He emphasized that the war in Ukraine and the threat of nuclear weapons in conflicts in the Middle East and Asia, make two regions “head towards disaster”.
