RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) – British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Tuesday that Russia was guilty of making “irresponsible rhetoric” after Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday lowered the threshold for a nuclear strike.
“There’s irresponsible rhetoric coming from Russia, and that is not going to deter our support for Ukraine,” he told reporters at the G20 summit in Brazil.
Speaking about Russia in general, he said: “One nation stands apart. For the third year running, Putin did not attend this summit. He is the author of his own exile.”
