00:00 Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a stark warning to the West, emphasizing Russia's

00:06 readiness for a nuclear war amid escalating tensions over Ukraine.

00:10 Speaking ahead of the March 15 and 17 election, which is expected to extend his presidency,

00:15 Putin stressed the gravity of deploying U.S. troops to Ukraine, deeming it a "significant

00:20 escalation."

00:21 While dismissing the immediate need for a weapon use in Ukraine, Putin underscored Russia's

00:25 preparedness from a military-technical perspective, cautioning against Western intervention.

00:31 In response to the inquiries about Russia's nuclear preparedness, Putin affirmed their

00:35 readiness, highlighting the potential consequences of U.S. troop deployment near Russian borders

00:40 or in Ukraine.

00:41 Putin also emphasized that Russian-American relations experts and specialists in strategic

00:46 restraint comprehend the risks involved, suggesting a nuanced understanding of the situation.

00:51 Despite this, Putin highlighted Russia's preparedness for nuclear confrontation, while

00:56 expressing a reluctance to hasten towards such a scenario.

01:01 The war in Ukraine has strained Russia's relations with the West, with Putin repeatedly

01:05 warning of risks of nuclear conflict if the West intervenes militarily in Ukraine.

01:10 The deployment of Russian troops into Ukraine back in February 2022 marked a significant

01:15 escalation after years of conflict in eastern Ukraine.

01:19 Despite Western promises to support Kiev against Russia, Russian forces are now controlling

01:23 a considerable portion of the Ukrainian territory, prompting concerns about Kiev's defense capabilities.

01:29 Putin, which is Russia's ultimate authority on nuclear weapons, retaliates that Kremlin's

01:34 nuclear doctrine outlines the circumstances in which Russia might use the nuclear weapon.

01:40 While emphasizing Russia's willingness to engage in negotiations on Ukraine, Putin also

01:44 insisted on realistic discussions, cautioning against delusions fueled by "psychotric drugs."

01:49 However, Putin's proposal for a ceasefire to halt the war in Ukraine was reportedly

01:54 rejected by the United States.

01:56 Amid reports of U.S. concerns over the possibility of Russia deploying tactical battlefield nuclear

02:01 weapons in Ukraine, Putin has now maintained that Russia has never deemed it necessary

02:06 to resort to such extreme measures in the war.

02:09 Nevertheless, Putin also did not rule out any possibility of Russia not conducting nuclear

02:13 strike if the United States did so.

02:17 The interview with Putin underscored the precariousness of the situation and the potential ramifications

02:22 of the conflict in Ukraine.
