Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday cautioned the West that his country is prepared for nuclear war and would view any US troop deployment to Ukraine as a major escalation. "From a military-technical point of view, we are, of course, ready," he said, while also noting that as of now he doesn't see a need for it. Putin's remarks come just days ahead of the Russian Presidential Election, which is certain to grant him six more years in power.
