Putin warns West of danger of nuclear war, says Moscow may strike Western targets

President Vladimir Putin warned Western countries on Thursday that there was a real risk of nuclear war if they sent their troops to fight in Ukraine.

He said Moscow had the weapons to hit targets in the West.

Addressing parliament and other members of the country's elite, Putin repeated his charge that the West is bent on weakening Russia, and he suggested that Western leaders did not understand how dangerous their meddling in what he described them as Russia's internal affairs, writes Reuters .

He prefaced his warning with a specific reference to an idea floated by French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday of European NATO members sending ground troops to Ukraine — a suggestion that was quickly rejected by the United States, Germany , Britain and others.
