Podolyak said Putin’s seriousness was unpredictable.
“It’s hard to make predictions when someone is completely irrational,” he said.
“We have a large country that enters Ukrainian territory, starts a war, takes possession of a territory and then says that this territory is now ours and if you try to take it back, we will use nuclear weapons. It seems utterly absurd and further destroys the entire global nuclear deterrence system. “
Other Ukrainian officials also believe the threat should be taken seriously, including Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk.
“You can’t allow someone to run with a grenade with the pin removed and threaten everyone just because they can,” Vereshchuk said. The Guardian.
