Putin warns NATO countries risk nuclear conflict if they send troops to Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin told NATO countries on Thursday they risked nuclear conflict if they sent troops to Ukraine, adding that Russia must strengthen its western military district after Finland and Sweden's admission to the Atlantic alliance. The United States and key European allies this week said they had no plans to send ground troops to Ukraine, after France hinted at the possibility. Putin also said that Russia had used advanced weapons systems, including Zircon hypersonic missiles, and that it held the military advantage in Ukraine. The Russian president stated that his country is ready for dialogue with the United States on strategic stability, but rejected any attempts to force Russia into talks.
