WorldKremlin says Russia doesn’t need military escalation because its army is ‘advancing anyway’
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Russia would deliver a “heavy response” to Ukrainian strikes on its economic and trade infrastructure, but claimed Moscow had no need for military escalation because its army was “advancing anyway.” His remarks followed a Bloomberg report that Russia was considering intensified missile strikes on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities. Sources cited by the agency said some Russian officials believe Vladimir Putin could eventually consider tactical nuclear weapons, though there are currently no signs of preparations to use them.
