Vladimir Putin said today that Russia will probably have to reach agreements on Ukraine in the future, but the Russian president stressed that Moscow felt betrayed by the collapse of the Minsk agreements.
Putin said that Germany and France who brokered ceasefire agreements in the Belarusian capital of Minsk between Ukraine and Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine in 2014 and 2015 betrayed Russia and are now supplying arms to Ukraine.
At the same time, the Russian president warned that any country that dares to attack Russia with nuclear weapons will disappear from the face of the earth.
Putin said Russia has no mandate to launch a first pre-emptive nuclear strike, unlike the US, but that Russia's advanced supersonic weapons would ensure that Russia could respond strongly if ever attacked.
