Kyiv: The ongoing military conflict between Ukraine and Russia is reaching a more tense situation. Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the country’s anti-nuclear forces to be on alert due to increased conflict with Western countries after this attack.
In a meeting with top officials, Putin emphasized on Sunday that major NATO member states have made aggressive statements and that Western countries have imposed tough economic sanctions on him and Russia.
Putin ordered Russia’s Defense Minister and the Chief of the Military General Staff to keep anti-nuclear forces ready for combat-related obligations. In his speech even before the attack on Ukraine, Vladimir Putin had threatened all the countries of the world that if they tried to interfere, they also had weapons. It is clear from Putin’s intentions that the ongoing war in Ukraine can turn into a nuclear war.
Putin says that one should have no doubt that a direct attack on our country will lead to disastrous consequences for any potential attacker.
United Nations organization will also meet
On the other hand, the Board of Governors of 35 countries of the UN’s nuclear watchdog will hold an emergency meeting on Wednesday about Ukraine, where war is raging in the country with 4 existing nuclear power plants.
According to the news agency Reuters, the International Atomic Energy Agency issued a statement saying that the IAEA Board of Governors will hold a meeting on Wednesday to discuss the current situation in Ukraine.
The ongoing military tension between Ukraine and Russia is at its peak. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged the world to end Russia’s voting power at the UN Security Council and called the Russian action against Ukraine a “genocide”.
At the same time, Russian state media has claimed that Ukraine has agreed to peace talks in Belarus. However, earlier there were reports that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has turned down a proposal for peace talks in Belarus.
