Putin threatens 'all weapons' use if Russia faces direct attack

Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a strong warning, stating that Russia would deploy "all weapons" in its arsenal, including nuclear capabilities, if its territory faces a direct attack. This statement was made in response to perceived threats from NATO, particularly concerning the Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad. Putin accused Western nations of escalating tensions and playing a dangerous game by discussing potential war with Moscow and conducting military drills near Russian borders. NATO, however, has refuted these claims, emphasizing its defensive nature and denouncing Russia's nuclear rhetoric. AI
