Marin’s response comes as the war continues to escalate.
On Monday, Russia launched multiple missile strikes on civilian areas in Ukraine after an explosion severely damaged the only bridge connecting Russia to Crimea, a key supply route for the Russian army fighting a Ukrainian counteroffensive in the south.
In recent days, Ukraine has made “stunning” gains on its eastern and southern fronts, liberating regions that Russian illegally annexed just a few weeks ago, according to the Economist.
The gains have left the Russian army in disarray, leading Putin to threaten nuclear retaliation.
On Thursday, US President Joe Biden warned that the risk of nuclear war is at its highest point since the 1962 Cuban missile crisis.
