Putin and his regime ‘acknowledging’ they are ‘conventionally weaker’ than NATO

Transatlantic Defense and Security Program at CEPA Mark Voyger has commented on Russian President Vladimir Putin stepping up talk of using nuclear weapons. It comes as Russia claims American-supplied long-range missiles have been used in an attack on Russian territory by Ukraine. “By doing this Putin and his regime are first of all acknowledging that they are conventionally weaker than the NATO nations as a whole,” Mr Voyger told Sky News Australia. “Acknowledging that they are experiencing serious problems and will experience more should the Ukrainians continue with those strikes.”
