Latvia's defense minister says

Russia is bluffing with its new threats to use nuclear weapons and is claiming that it will use them to try and scare the West away from supporting of Ukraine, Latvia's defense minister told Insider.

Putin threatened last week to use nuclear tactical weapons in Ukraine as he announced more troops for his invasion, leading to questions over whether or not he is seriously considering launching weapons of mass destruction.

Latvia, which has given the second-highest level of financial support to Ukraine by GDP of all countries, has said it won't waver.

Pabriks also said that the use of nuclear weapons would not actually help Russia win in Ukraine by itself, given how Russia's military has struggled.
