Zelenskyy downplays Putin’s most extreme threats as ‘bluff’: ‘Nothing else is working for him'
Fox News
In an interview this week with a German newspaper, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy downplayed the most extreme threats from Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, calling them "a bluff."
"I think that the threat of nuclear war is a bluff. It’s one thing to be a murderer, it’s another to commit suicide."
Recent moves by Putin have included the placement of Russia’s nuclear preparedness on "high alert" as Western leaders imposed tough economic sanctions and made what Putin described as "aggressive statements," Die Zeit reported Wednesday. (The newspaper's name in English is "The Time.")
Previously, Putin had claimed that any attempts by other countries to interfere in the Ukraine invasion would result in "consequences you have never seen," PBS reported.
