Alarming statement

The United States of America is the only superpower country of the world, which enjoys nuclear weapons edge on the world. After the US, Russia, China, India and Pakistan also possess nuclear weapons. But, even discussing using nuclear weapons against any country sends the world in unbearable trauma because the outcome of using nuclear weapons is far deadly than one can imagine (“Putin says he hopes there will be no need to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine).”

The statement issued by the Russian President Vladimir Putin who said that the need to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine had not arisen and that he hopes it will not, is alarming.

I hope the warring countries should start meaningful dialogue and solve their deadly outstanding issues through negotiations in the best interest of their own people and give peace a chance to flourish in the world.
