The threat of the use of nuclear weapons is increasing in the world, but Russia "has not lost its mind" and still sees it as a means of defense. The President of the country, Vladimir Putin, said this at a meeting held with the updated composition of the AKK, the correspondent of "Adyrna" reported.
During the fierce battles near Bakhmut, the Russian leader declared that the war in Ukraine could be a "protracted process".
"We consider weapons of mass destruction, nuclear weapons as defense. "When our country is attacked, we will respond," he said.
