While giving a speech at UNSC in New York U.S. President Joe Biden accused Vladimir Putin of making “overt nuclear threats against Europe” in reckless disregard for nuclear nonproliferation responsibilities.
To acquire the territory that Russian forces captured during their February invasion of Ukraine, Russia is also holding referendums in four eastern Ukrainian provinces. The referendums have been denounced by Ukraine and its allies as a ruse intended to justify a war escalation and Mr. Putin’s mobilization effort following recent battlefield losses.
As a warning to Ukraine and its Western supporters, Moscow may portray attempts to recover Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia as attacks on Russia itself.
