Putin has indirectly threatened to use nuclear weapons over the last several months. In a televised speech in September, he announced a partial military mobilization and said he would “certainly use all the means at our disposal to protect Russia and our people.” He added that he was not bluffing.
Harvard scholar Oleh Kotsyuba and Northeastern University professors Mai’a Cross and Pablo Calderon explained how likely nuclear escalation is during NBC10 Boston’s, “Russia-Ukraine Q&A.”
