Shortly before the invasion, Putin reminded the world that his country was \u201cone of the most powerful nuclear states,\u201d and he put its nuclear forces\u00a0on high alert\u00a0shortly after. His nuclear rhetoric has ramped up and toned down at various points since.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/world\/watch-harris-meets-with-ukraines-zelenskyy-as-russia-makes-nuclear-warning\"><strong>WATCH:<\/strong> Harris meets with Ukraine\u2019s Zelenskyy as Russia makes nuclear warning<\/a><\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Putin said that if attacked by any country supported by a nuclear-armed nation, Russia will consider that a joint attack.<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t specify whether that would bring a nuclear response, but he stressed that Russia could use nuclear weapons in response to a conventional assault that posed a \u201ccritical threat to our sovereignty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The United States and the European Union called his statements \u201cirresponsible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new posture was seen as a message to the U.S. and other Western countries as Ukraine seeks their go-ahead to strike Russia with\u00a0longer-range weapons. The Biden administration this week announced an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/world\/watch-biden-announces-billions-in-ukraine-military-aid-as-zelenskyy-visits-white-house\">additional $2.7 billion in military aid<\/a>\u00a0for Ukraine, but it doesn\u2019t include the type of long-range arms that Zelenskyy is seeking, nor a green light to use such weapons to strike deep into Russia.<\/p>\n<p>There was no immediate response to Lavrov\u2019s address from the U.S., which had a junior diplomat taking notes in its assembly seat as he spoke.<\/p>\n<p>More than 2\u00bd years into the fighting, Russia is making slow but continuing gains in Ukraine\u2019s east. Ukraine has repeatedly struck Russian territory with missiles and drones and embarrassed Moscow with an audacious\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/show\/what-ukraine-stands-to-gain-or-lose-from-capturing-russian-land-in-kursk\">incursion by troops<\/a>\u00a0in a border region last month.<\/p>\n<p>Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy has pushed what he calls a\u00a0peace formula\u00a0to end the war. Provisions include expelling all Russian forces from Ukraine, ensuring accountability for war crimes, freeing prisoners of war and deportees, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Lavrov dismissed Zelenskyy\u2019s formula as a \u201cdoomed ultimatum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Brazil and China have been\u00a0floating a peace plan\u00a0that entails holding a peace conference with both Ukraine and Russia and not expanding the battlefield or otherwise escalating fighting. Chinese and Brazilian diplomats have been promoting the plan during the assembly and attracted a dozen other nations, mostly in Africa or Latin America, to join a group of \u201cfriends for peace\u201d in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/world\/at-un-china-warns-against-expansion-of-the-battlefield-in-russias-war-with-ukraine\"><strong>READ MORE:<\/strong> At UN, China warns against \u2018expansion of the battlefield\u2019 in Russia\u2019s war with Ukraine<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Lavrov said at a news conference Saturday that Russia was ready to provide assistance and advice to the group, adding that \u201cit\u2019s important for their proposals to be underpinned by the realities and not just be taken from some abstract conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said resolving the conflict hinges on fixing its \u201croot causes\u201d \u2014 what Moscow contends is the Kyiv government\u2019s repression of Russian speakers in eastern Ukraine, and NATO\u2019s expansion in eastern Europe over the years, which Russia sees as a threat to its security.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/world\/watch-russian-foreign-minister-invokes-nuclear-capacity-in-un-speech-condemning-the-west\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russia\u2019s top diplomat warned Saturday against \u201ctrying to fight to victory with a nuclear power,\u201d delivering a U.N.
