The US could assassinate Vladimir Putin if Russia fires nuclear weapons at Ukraine, former US national security adviser John Bolton has said.
Speaking on Tonight with Andrew Marr on LBC on Tuesday, Mr Bolton said that nuclear strikes by Russia would be a "suicide note" for Russian president Putin, although he did not say the US reaction would come straight after any bombs were dropped.think one thing that's important before we get to that stage is to increase our efforts to deter him from thinking about it.
"And we need to make it clear to him and we need to make it clear to the people around him in his government, so that they can take action before he does anything like that. Ukraine has been rocked by Russian strikes on several cities over the past two days, with at least 19 people killed. Leaders of the G7 groups of rich countries said on Tuesday that they would support Ukraine for as long as it takes, with Nato also pledging continued backing for Kyiv.
