Global News's video: Russia is technically ready for nuclear war Putin says

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russia was technically ready for nuclear war and that the country will treat the U.S. as “interventionists” if they sent troops to Ukraine. "From the technical point of view, of course we are ready," Putin told a journalist, when asked whether Russia was really ready for a nuclear war. “They (the missiles) are constantly combat ready.” “Our nuclear triad is more modern than any other triad. Actually only us and Americans have a triad. And ours is much more advanced than them,” Putin added. “It needs to be known — by everybody who needs to know this — experts, specialists, military.” Putin, speaking ahead of this week’s election which is expected to give him another six years in power, added that the nuclear war scenario was not "rushing" up and he saw no need for the use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
