Russia warns US, says don't bring tensions closer to 'dangerous line'

Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov warned the US not to increase tensions between the countries.

Ryabkov has said the US is gradually moving towards nuclear war and crossing the “dangerous line.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine on February 24, and the whole world was thinking about whether this would culminate in a nuclear war. The problem is that Russia’s plan to ensure a quick end to the war with Ukraine faced a lot of hurdles. Now, seven months have passed, and Ukraine is still in a position to defend itself against the mighty Russians. This is trying Putin’s patience as the Russians wanted to finish the war in 3 months. Putin won nothing significant in the war and was forced to call in 300,000 reservists.


Putin is also holding a referendum in some occupied territories and trying to merge them into the Russian Union. This has led people to think that he may use nuclear weapons in Ukraine if things don't go as planned. In the meantime, a resolution was passed in the Duma that Russia had the right to defend its territory with everything under its command if the situation demanded.

United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken, too, has also warned Russians about the use of nuclear weapons. NSA advisor Jake Sullivan also warned that the Russians would face severe consequences if they go for a nuclear war. Ultimately, it depends on the Russians what they want to do on the issue, but then the US would undoubtedly be highly decisive in its response.

Ryabkov has warned the US and told the Americans to not increase tensions. Also, Putin warned that he would go very strongly against any nuclear blackmail by the West.
