Putin emphasises nuclear weapons are only meant to be used when sovereignty is threatened: Analyst

This week, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned the West his nation is ready for nuclear war. CNA's Poh Kok Ing and Paul Sng unpacked the statement with Aurel Braun, Professor of International Relations and Political Science at the University of Toronto. He argues that Mr Putin is walking a fine line in projecting the strength of Russia's nuclear arsenal towards the international community, which also ensures the stability of his country ahead of the 15-17 Mar presidential elections.
