The specter of nuclear war has been raised in Moscow, which is preparing to celebrate, this Monday, May 9, the victory over Nazi Germany. ” Is a world war possible? asks the front page of The Express.

Paris, 200 seconds! London, 202 seconds! “, counts the presenter. “ Count the seconds, can you intercept it? Hi, he’s already here! », Then says a mocking guest. In an earlier broadcast, on state channels RT and Sputnik, a nuclear war had been referred to as “ the most likely scenario “.
Precisely, how can Russian President Vladimir Putin react to the development of the war in Ukraine?
