Putin's nuclear threats losing their effect, Financial Times reports
Original: Putin's nuclear threats no longer have the desired effect on Russia — FT
The Financial Times reports that Vladimir Putin's nuclear threats no longer have the deterrent effect the Kremlin once achieved. According to the outlet, warnings about Russian nuclear escalation are increasingly failing to influence Western policy or unsettle allies of Ukraine, suggesting the threat has lost credibility through repeated use. The assessment points to a shift in how governments and publics now respond to Moscow's nuclear rhetoric.
Why now: Renewed debate over nuclear escalation in the war in Ukraine is prompting analysis of whether Russia's nuclear rhetoric still works as leverage.
