Russian officials and propagandists regularly issue threats against countries and individuals, particularly Ukraine's president. The latest threats, published in an official Russian newspaper, include calls to 'liquidate' Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Additionally, the director of the Russian Air Defense Museum complained that the Ukrainian army's massive use of drones is hindering Russian attack efforts. He stated that the time is approaching when tactical nuclear weapons might be used on the battlefield, and they do not necessarily have to be missiles with a warhead of tens of kilotons.
