Putin reaches the nuclear button. What should the response of the event should be
The response of the Seven, EU, key countries in the world is exactly what it is. Video of the day, however, this condemnation from the event is not enough. - The world must not only condemn Putin's actions, but also remind about Moscow's obligations. Back in 1995, the UN Security Council approved resolution No. 984, which was voted by Russia.
In the Kremlin, apparently, they were forgotten, but in the annex to this decision of the RB, together with other nuclear powers, they also added their own statement to provide guarantees of non -application of nuclear weapons against non -nuclear states (so -called negative guarantees). Ukraine is exactly in the list, as well as more than 170 countries of the world, which became parties to the Nuclear Weapon Non -Publication Treaty. The threat is a threat to everyone.
However, not enough condemnation - it should be recalled that in early January 2022, five nuclear powers made a joint statement in which Russia also pledged to avoid nuclear war. There, the Kremlin acknowledged that "nuclear weapons, as long as it exists, should serve the goals of protection, restraint of aggression and avoid war. " In the Kremlin, even these clear and clear lines read in their manner, apparently seeing in nuclear weapons a means of aggression and hostilities.
Four of the five signatories have a reason to hit Putin in his hands. - The "Volodya" has already seen the world under the muzzle of Moscow. However, a "referendum" under a nuclear threat is a new Russian invention beyond any prudence. The UN Statute clearly states that no state should resort to the threat of force or its use against the territorial inviolability or political independence of any state, and in any other way, incompatible with the goals of the UN.
This principle has long been trampled. And here we are witnessing how the Kremlin tries to introduce a new rule called "nuclear weapons as an indulgence for territorial seizures". With this approach, no state around the perimeter of Russia can feel safe. And not just around the perimeter. Putin's nuclear neoph could not split the team event. However, this does not mean that this stability can be limited. Increased sanctions - the answer is correct but not enough.
Putin's skill and heroism in the corner of the Ukrainian army still reaches a nuclear button and may well think about a tactical blow to a deserted territory of Ukraine without victims, or in any city with human casualt territory. The collective event, and, first of all, nuclear powers, should demonstrate that not only are not subjected to Putin's neoph, but not bluffy themselves.
