Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that the need to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine had not arisen and that he hopes it will not. In a preview of an upcoming interview with Russian state television, published on Telegram on Sunday, Putin said Russia has the strength and the means to bring the conflict in Ukraine to a “logical conclusion.” Responding to a question about Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory, Putin said: “There has been no need to use those (nuclear) weapons … and I hope they will not be required.” “We have enough strength and means to bring what was started in 2022 to a logical conclusion with the outcome Russia requires,” he said. Putin signed a revamped version of Russia’s nuclear doctrine in November 2024, spelling out the circumstances that allow him to use Moscow’s atomic arsenal, the world’s largest. That version lowered the bar, giving him that option in response to even a conventional attack backed by a nuclear power. Russia and Ukraine are at odds over competing ceasefire proposals. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Friday, in comments made public Saturday, that Moscow’s announcement of a 72-hour ceasefire next week in Ukraine to mark Victory Day in World War II is merely an attempt to create a “soft atmosphere” ahead of Russia’s annual celebrations. Zelenskyy instead renewed calls for a more substantial 30-day pause in hostilities, as the U.S. had initially proposed. He said the proposed ceasefire could start anytime as a meaningful step toward ending the war. Putin on Monday declared a unilateral 72-hour ceasefire in Ukraine to mark Victory Day in World War II, as the U.S. presses for a deal to end the 3-year-old war. The Kremlin said the truce, ordered on “humanitarian grounds,” will run from the start of May 8 and last through the end of May 10 to mark Moscow’s defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945 — Russia’s biggest secular holiday. A Russian drone attack overnight on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, wounded 11 people, Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said Sunday. Two children were among the wounded. The attack woke up Valentyna Fesiuk, an 83-year-old resident of Kyiv’s Obolon district. “I was just sleeping when the house shook. It was at 12:30. An apartment on the 12th floor caught fire,” she told The Associated Press. The car of another resident, Viacheslav Khotab, caught fire. “I saw my car burning. I was covered with broken glass,” he said. “I couldn’t do anything.” The 54-year-old was frustrated with stalled peace negotiations: “They can’t agree on anything, and we are the ones who suffer the consequences.” Daryna Kravchuk, an 18-year-old student in the district, described how “five to six minutes after the air raid was activated, we heard a strong impact, everything started shaking. … There were three strikes almost in a row after the air raid was activated.” “It’s very scary to witness, we have been suffering from this for so long. People are just suffering all the time. … It’s still very hard to see our country constantly being destroyed,” she told the AP. One person was killed Sunday when a Russian guided bomb hit a village close to the border in Ukraine’s northeastern Sumy region, regional Gov. Oleh Hryhorov said.

The ballistic missile fired by the Houthis in Yemen that hit the Ben-Gurion Airport compound on Sunday morning, injuring six people, halted incoming and outgoing flights for about an hour. In the wake of the incident, a number of airlines canceled their flights to Israel on Sunday for the next 48 hours, including Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Swiss Air, and Wizz Air. American carriers United and Delta—both of which had only recently resumed flights to Israel—have also canceled their flights, along with France’s Transavia and its Air France, Air Canada, Japan’s Nippon Airways, Spain’s Air Europa, and British Airways. Delta Air Lines cancelled its flight on Sunday from New York to Tel Aviv, as well as its returning Monday flight. ITA Airways (Italy’s national airline) canceled four flights to Israel scheduled on Sunday and two scheduled for Monday. Passengers who had already boarded an Air France plane for a flight to Israel were ordered to disembark. Air Europa canceled a flight that was already awaiting takeoff on the runway in Madrid. An Air India flight that was en route to Israel returned to India after it had already reached Jordanian airspace. The flight cancellations led to a 6.9 percent jump in El Al’s share price on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, Ynet reported. The Houthis’ military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, claimed responsibility for the attack on Ben Gurion Airport in a televised statement and issued a warning to international airlines that Ben-Gurion is “no longer safe for air travel.” Senior Houthi member Mohammed al-Bukhaiti told the Qatari Al Araby channel that attacks will continue to increase as long as Israel continues its war on Hamas in Gaza. “We’ve proven our ability to deal blows to American, British, and Israeli prestige,” he said. “There are no red lines in our conflict with the Zionist entity, the United States, and Britain. Our strike on the Ben-Gurion airport is proof of our ability to hit fortified targets inside Israel.” (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)
