A senseless nuclear war would damage the whole world.
During a United Nations Security Council meeting on the Ukraine conflict, Secretary General António Guterres urged countries to reaffirm their renunciation of the use of nuclear weapons.
"This senseless war has boundless potential to cause terrible damage both in Ukraine and around the world," he said.
According to him, the nuclear threat has become a frequent subject of discussion, which is unacceptable. The nuclear powers must reaffirm their commitment to eliminating nuclear weapons.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared his readiness to defend the independence of the country and its citizens by any available means, and accused the collective West of nuclear blackmail.
