Russia threatens nuclear weapon use if existence is endangered

On the battle in Ukraine, Peskov stated that President Volodymyr Zelensky came to power with an “original promise” to his people that he would end the war.

The official said Zelensky can end it by withdrawing troops “from the Donbas—from the regions that have now become part of Russia—and by recognizing the situation that has become de jure.”

Peskov likened the war to Russia versus a Coalition, noting that on the other side is Ukraine alongside several European nations and the United States supplying Kyiv with “millions of tons of weapons.”
