PUTIN IS CRAZY! Threatening the whole world with radioactive contamination! Ukraine Russia War News
Putin warned: 'Radioactive contamination would spread to Russian land'
NUCLEAR WEAPONS would not just hurt Ukraine but also "Russian land", a British intelligence officer has warned.
Sir John Sawers, the former chief of the UK's Secret Intelligence Service, also known as MI6, said Russian President Vladimir Putin must be aware a nuclear attack "would have a devastating effect on his country".
If Putin were to restore to nuclear arms, the MI6 veteran claimed, "radioactive contamination would spread to Russian land".
That, he suggested, might be reason enough to prevent such an escalation.
Sir John's reference to the natural damage brought by the use of weapons echoes claims by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday about the environmental price of Russia's war.
He told an audience at the Globsec security conference in Bratislava that the military's conflict isn't just a human horror, but an ecological disaster, too.
Speaking via video link, Mr Zelensky said: "Let us again remember the significance of the Danube river, this is the source of prosperity for various cities: Bratislava, Vienna, Budapest.
"To make sure the Danube remains clean and safe to ensure that its economic potential, including transport potential, is in full swing, we need cooperation from all countries which have received this great gift of nature."
Mr Blinken said: "We can't say when, we can't say exactly how.
"What we can say is what we will do to make sure that Ukraine has the means to defend itself and has the strongest possible hand at every step along the way."
The full-scale Russian invasion, which is hitting the 100-day mark on Friday, was launched by Vladimir Putin on February 24.
It has led to the deaths of thousands of people, devastated cities and towns and triggered a massive exodus of more than six million Ukrainians.
