"President Putin's nuclear rhetoric is dangerous and reckless, we have heard it several times before, but that does not change the fact that it is dangerous. That is why we clearly told President Putin that

any use of nuclear weapons would have serious consequences for the country. Russia

and would naturally change the nature of the conflict ".

This was stated by NATO secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, during an interview with the “Meet the press” program on Nbc.

"We have also made it clear that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought, this is a message that NATO and NATO Allies are sending to Russia," added Stoltenberg.

And again: "

This is a war that President Putin has started,

it is a war of his own choosing. NATO is not part of this conflict, what we do is provide support to Ukraine, an independent and sovereign nation in Europe that has the right to defend against an aggression of war ".

The response to Vladimir Putin's threats about the use of tactical atomic warheads to protect the new self-proclaimed borders with the annexations of the Ukrainian regions comes from the NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg.

The alliance, he warned, is ready to respond firmly and united to any deliberate attack on his critical infrastructure

.

But on the accession of Kiev, which President Volodymyr Zelensky has again clamored after the tsar's last tear, Stoltenberg reiterated that any decision must be agreed upon by all members.

In any case, he assured, the allies will continue to support Ukraine, which continues to make progress on the ground, as evidenced by the reconquest of Lyman. 

After inducing the Russian troops to a new, sensational retreat, the resumption of Lyman, a strategic railway hub in Donetsk, gave breath back to the Kiev counter-offensive, right after the Kremlin annexed the region.

A decision that has also received formal green light from the Constitutional Court of Moscow, while the Duma is preparing to ratify the treaties signed on Friday by the tsar with the separatist leaders of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.

Within the Russian Federation, new Putin decrees establish, the regions will enter with the borders of the day of annexation and will keep the same name, although at the moment only those of the Donbass will have the status of Republic with Russian as the official language, 

For the former colonel of the FSB intelligence service and opponent, Gennadiy Gudkov, however, the tsar is flexing his muscles because he is in trouble.

"Do not be fooled, Putin no longer has so many ambitions and obsessions. He is saving his skin, because he is well aware that the war, if not yet lost, will be lost. And the first black swans of his defeat - he said - are already flown. Putin has a very clear, bloodthirsty pragmatic and cynical plan. He is creating the conditions for a future nuclear blackmail ".
