Vladimir Putin

The following is based on translations from Chinese media:

China’s qianzhan.com says in its report today that recently, a documentary entitled “The Road of Crimea’s Return” was shown in Russia.

It revealed that Russian President Vladimir Putin was prepared to order Russian nuclear troops to be ready to fight in order to ensure that Crimea would return to Russia.

A recent Russian public opinion poll found that 50% of Russian citizens support Putin in using nuclear weapons while only 27% of them worried about that.

The website, a mouthpiece of the Chinese government, said that it admired the Russian people and Russia’s leader for this stance.
