Vladimir Putin has warned the West of the risk of a “real threat” of nuclear war if the conflict in Ukraine escalates and Western troops are sent, two days after French President Emmanuel Macron said he was not ruling it out.
French Armed Forces Minister Sebastien Lecornou called on Vladimir Putin “not to be irresponsible” after the Russian president once again referred to the nuclear threat in his annual address to the nation.
“I listened carefully to what the president of the Russian Federation said this (Thursday) morning. When you represent a nuclear-armed power, you have no right to be irresponsible and adopt escalation,” Lecornou told reporters after visiting the non-nuclear of Delair manned aircraft, near Toulouse.

The Russian president “also talked about the threats coming from the West. There are no threats facing the Russian Federation,” Lecornu continued. “It is a speech that consists of pretending to be the victim and the one under attack, while everyone knows very well that it is Russia that is attacking Ukraine and that it is showing a new aggressiveness and playing with the limits, among other things in terms of French interests “, he said.
“The Russian threat is even stronger today than two years ago (…) the climate is hardening significantly,” he stressed.
