Russian state television broadcast a warning that Vladimir Putin could issue a nuclear ultimatum to Britain and other European governments. The broadcast claimed the most likely outcome of the conflict would be a demand to stop Western military support for Kyiv or face atomic escalation. It asserted Russia would accuse the West of escalating the war into a full-blown conflict by continuing to provide arms, intelligence, and logistical assistance. The programme suggested Putin would argue Russia had already defeated Ukraine militarily, while NATO prolonged the war through continued support. It also referenced potential strikes using the Oreshnik hypersonic missile system and the RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, including alleged targets in the UK and talk of arrest warrants for Western leaders.
