After the referendums and the consequent annexation of the territories east of Ukraine which, according to Vladimir Putin’s warnings, “Russia will defend by any means”, the United States does not believe that the nuclear threat is a bluff. Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin expressed it: “It is only one man to decide. There is no control over Vladimir Putin. Just as he made an irresponsible decision by invading Ukraine he could make another irresponsible decision. But I do not currently have elements to confirm that he has made this decision ”.
“We can expect to see the Ukrainians continue their attack, and we will continue to support them in their efforts” – these are the forecasts of the secretary of state, who continues to exclude a dialogue with the enemy, even in the face of the nuclear threat – “I have no personally spoke with Sergei Shoigu (the Russian Defense Minister ed) in the last few days ”.
