MOSCOW, September 30 – Novosti. The United States is the only one to have used nuclear weapons twice and thus set a precedent, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
“The United States is the only country in the world that has twice used nuclear weapons, destroying the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki . By the way, they have created a precedent,” he said during a speech at the signing ceremony of treaties on the entry of new territories into Russia.
He also recalled that the United States, together with the British, “turned Dresden , Hamburg , Cologne and many other German cities into ruins without any military necessity during the Second World War.”
