Will Putin go nuclear?
The key questions answered - as the President sends reservists to Ukraine.
President Putin says military reservists are to be sent to Ukraine as part of a partial mobilisation of Russian forces. In a televised address to the nation, he said this was a necessary step to ensure Russian territorial integrity. He accused the West of wanting to see Russia weakened and said a threat to retaliate further was "not a bluff". The EU and Nato said his rhetoric on nuclear weapons was dangerous.
So what are the weapons President Putin is talking about? How powerful are they? And should we be worried? The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Security Correspondent, Gordon Corera has the answers.
