Russian President Vladimir’s Putin’s use of tactical or other nuclear weapons would represent a red line which no western country - not even China - would tolerate, Ukraine UN top diplomat Sergiy Kyslytsya
In this wide-ranging interview before a live audience at the iconic Ukrainian Institute of America in New York City, Ambassador Sergíy Kyslytsya tells Global Impact Show co-hosts Melissa Ricci and Michael Bociurkiw that if the Russian leader were to use such weapons it would cause his annihilation within half a day.
The discussion was recorded as part of the agenda of the annual conference of Ukrainian Journalists of North America.
Commenting on the current situation, Amb. Kyslytsya says no one expected the Russian economy to endure to the degree it has this long into the war and that Mr. Putin's appointment of economist Andrei Belousov as the new minister of defense will likely curb corrupt practices in that ministry.
In the interview, Amb. Kyslytsya - a former deputy foreign minister and one of Kyiv’s most experienced foreign envoys - also comments on a wide range of other topics, including what’s needed immediately from the West to protect Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city.
