According to Russian President Vladimir Putin, the risk of nuclear war is growing. Meanwhile, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz believes otherwise. He says the risk has actually decreased due to international pressure on Putin.
Foreign commentator Bernard Hammelburg finds the two rhyming statements special. It’s a wonderful way to communicate. (…). Even the Americans have reacted furiously that Putin is talking about it again.’ The cause of Putin’s statement isn’t exactly clear, but Hammelburg has an idea. “Under Russian rules, a nuclear weapon can be used when your country is attacked to such an extent that it has no other means left.”

However, Hammelburg sees that it’s not there yet. “But that’s not the case at all. However, for the first time during the war there were attacks on Russian territory. So it is understandable that the Russians say that it will be dangerous for them as well. You have to see it in that context,’ says the foreign commentator
“Nuclear weapons must not be used”
Hammelburg thinks Scholz is right. “I think people are right when they say that nuclear weapons are not really used.” Scholz then compliments himself. “During my visit to Beijing, Chinese President Xi and I jointly declared that nuclear weapons should not be used. Shortly after, the G20 countries reaffirmed this position.’
