Fumio Kishida, Japan’s prime minister has described the Russian President’s sabre rattling about nuclear weapons as “deeply disturbing.”
While speaking on Saturday, Kishida cautioned that Russia using nuclear weapons would be seen as an “act of hostility against humanity,” as Japan remains the only country to have ever been hit with a nuclear bomb.
“Russia’s act of threatening the use of nuclear weapons is a serious threat to the peace and security of the international community and absolutely unacceptable,” said Kishida.
Recall that the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, had stated that he will do whatever he has to do in other to protect the territorial integrity of his country amid war with Ukraine.
Speaking on Wednesday, Putin said he will not hesitate to deploy the most devastating weaponry in Russia’s arsenal to thwart the gains of Ukraine and its purported incursion into the country in the ongoing war.
