Washington: The United States (USA) refutes the warnings issued by Russian President Putin, asserting that increased Western intervention in the Ukraine conflict could escalate into a nuclear crisis.

This is not the first instance of such irresponsible remarks from Putin. It is deemed inappropriate for a head of state possessing nuclear capabilities to speak in such a manner. The United States has consistently conveyed to Russia the potential repercussions of deploying nuclear weapons. There are no indications that the country is preparing to use them in warfare, stated US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller during a media briefing.

It is reported that Putin delivered these remarks while addressing the public in anticipation of the upcoming presidential election next month. The West intends to deploy forces in Ukraine, which will result in severe consequences. We possess weaponry capable of reaching targets within their territories. The leaders of those countries have not encountered significant challenges thus far, he declared. A nuclear alert was issued in response to this statement.
