some stern warnings about its Readiness to use nuclear weapons the West’s decision to Greenlight Ukraine’s use of supplied arms within Russian territory has also inflamed the tensions our next report get you more details Russian President Vladimir Putin has reiterated that m will resort to nuclear weapons if it perceives a threat to its sovereignity asked about the potential use of Russia’s nuclear Arsenal Putin said that the conditions for their use are clearly outlined in Russia’s security Doctrine with no room for ambiguity for some reason the believe in the west that Russia will never use it we have our nuclear Doctrine look at what is written there if somebody’s action will threaten our sovereignity and territorial Integrity we consider it possible to use all means at our disposal the strongly worded statement sudden response to the West’s decision to allow Ukraine to use their weapons to strike targets inside Russian territory the United States has further escalated the situation by indicating that Ukraine can also employ these weapons against Russian war planes operating within Russia’s borders Germany which has long remained averse to the idea of its weapons being used to attack Russia has now changed its stance we have jointly reaffirmed that Ukraine has the right under international law to defend itself against attacks on its territory its cities and its citizens Ukraine can also use the weapons supplied by us and our allies to defend itself against such attacks Putin has repeatedly asserted that the conflict could be swiftly resolved if the West stopped sending arms to Ukraine Western leaders are gathering for Ukraine peace Summit in Switzerland on June 15th however US President Joe Biden is being represented by his vice president kamla Harris with no invitation to Russia and China refusing to sit at the discussion table experts doubt if there would be any tangible outcome from the summit buau report V on world is 1 all right now to give us more perspective on this we’re being joined by retired Colonel Daniel Davis who joining us live from Sterling Virginia he’s in fact a military expert and also host of Daniel Davis Deep dive on YouTube ni Davis thank you very much indeed sir for speaking to us here on vior let me in fact ask you about the statement that’s been put out by the Russian President Vladimir Putin where he has said given the fact that the Western nations are arming Ukraine and are now giving the green signal for Kev to strike targets deep inside Russian territories Russia said that it could not be open to arming probably even non-state actors who could attack Western nations with these Russian given weapons how do you read the statement by Vladimir Putin uh look I think we need to take it deadly serious uh because you’re talking about that that uh Putin has really taken all that the West has given and the Ukraine has given for well over two years now and and he has thus far restrained himself to not strike outside of the borders of Ukraine against any of these sources and uh you know they’ve been saying Within their own domestic sphere and and to continue to have the support of its people this is you know an existential fight that Russia is waging against the entire West against the NATO on its territory with the West now escalating that above what it has been for the last two plus years and now saying that longrange weapons can be used in you in Russia proper and there was also a couple of days ago the uh some of the western newspapers released reports of a of a study that was shown how the US Army would be able to uh uh put uh you know tens of hundreds of thousands of troops into uh Eastern you into Eastern Europe to potentially fight against Russia on the ground at the same time you’re getting more and more reports of of Western troops coming in as trainers and advisers Etc I think that Russia’s feeling like that there’s a line is being crossed and now then they are truly feeling existential and I think that uh that’s why he’s saying all these things and they probably mean it and also uh the fact that the United States again today has indicated that it does not want Ukraine to use americanmade weapons to strike targets inside of Russia does the United States of America under joban have a clear policy on how it wants the ukrainians to use their weapons in this war because one day we hear that Biden is okay to let the ukrainians use American weapons inside of Russian territory and today he says that it is not in American interest to do so yeah a lot of mixed messages coming out and that’s been unfortunately a Hallmark uh the bid Administration throughout this war things constantly change there’s so many that we had self-imposed red lines of things we wouldn’t do weapon systems we wouldn’t give and then they give them and then that it changes later and now Biden get said the Politico reported last week that he had given secret approval for Ukraine to use some of the western weapons north of K uh and then he says well it’s kind of limited but you know the question is what is does Ukraine really regard that as limited uh because everything else has falling in time from pressure on the Biden Administration and I I I doubt that the that they’re going to withhold this from you know anywhere else that they may think it’s it’s useful and they have definitely the Ukraine side has definitely already launched very long range strikes inside Russia all the time really even before this so uh I I I think it’ll just continue right now my final question to you uh Daniel Davis is does the United States of America and the Western allies of Ukraine do they have a clear idea of what Russia’s nuclear Doctrine actually is because the Russians have said that if they feel their sovereignty comes under threat then they could use the nuclear option so how far can the Western Nations actually push and probe Russia and still ensure that Russia does not cross the nuclear threshold well in direct answer to your question absolutely we know what their Doctrine is this is not the first time that Putin has declared it it’s been written down many times that’s why he said in his statement go look at what’s written down because it’s been out there for a long time we’ve talked about it many times in the west we know it the problem is trying to see how close we can get to stay just on this side of the threshold and one has to wonder what is the value of trying to push right up to the potential point where the Russian side could feel threatened enough to use it because it is absolutely Ely a no wi situation for everyone for Russia for Ukraine for the United States and the entire West I don’t know why we’re even pushing up on this because there’s no value in trying to find out where that line is absolutely thank you very much indeed col Daniel Davis for joining us and getting his that perspective them welcome for all the latest news
