Vladimir Putin has threatened to use a missile which he claimed was “comparable in strength to a nuclear strike” against Ukraine.

Putin told reporters at a Kazakhstan press conference that this ballistic missile is “comparable in strength to a nuclear strike” if used repeatedly on one area.

According to The Guardian, he said: “The kinetic impact is powerful, like a meteorite falling.

The president also claimed the weapons could not be shot down by any air defence system, like the ones which protect Kyiv.

The threat comes amid growing fears that Putin could reach for the nuclear button in the war against Ukraine.

Russian state news agency TASS also reported that Putin had slammed the verbal attacks against Trump’s family.

He added that he believes Trump will “find the solution” to the war and claimed Russia is ready to discuss a deal. »

Politics / Biden Should Use His Pardon Power for More Than Just Turkeys More than 65 members of Congress have asked Biden to use his clemency power to “address long-standing injustices in our legal system.”.
