One of Vladimir Putin’s closest allies has warned Western leaders to stop arming Ukraine - or else risk turning the conflict into a ‘full-fledged nuclear war’.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has killed thousands of people, laid waste to swathes of its former Soviet neighbour and raised fears of the gravest confrontation between Russia and the United States since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
As well as serving as president for four years, he was a long time Russian prime minister both before and after his stint in the Kremlin, having resigned in January 2020 to take up his current post.Moscow has some 6,257 nuclear warheads while Nato’s three nuclear powers – the US, UK and France – have about 6,065 warheads combined, according to the Washington-based Arms Control Association.
