Ukraine news LATEST: Crazed Putin warned of ‘severe consequences’ if Kremlin uses nukes as Russia’s brutal war rages on

RUSSIAN dictator Vladimir Putin has been warned of “severe consequences” should the Kremlin resort to nuclear warfare in its brutal conquest of Ukraine. The UK’s foreign secretary, James Cleverly, slammed Mr Putin in the House of Commons yesterday, amid Russia’s decision to “suspend” the Black Sea grain initiative. Mr Cleverly said of the suspension: “Putin is exacting vengeance for his military failures on the civilians of Ukraine by cutting off their power and water supply, and on the poorest people in the world by threatening their food supplies.” The foreign secretary then went on to issue a stark warning to the Russian despot, saying: “No other country is talking about nuclear use. No country is threatening Russia or President Putin. “He should be clear that for the UK and our allies, any use at all of nuclear weapons would fundamentally change the nature of this conflict. There would be severe consequences for Russia.” Read our Ukraine-Russia live blog below for the latest updates…
