Ukrainian officials were set to meet with their Russian counterparts on Monday as tensions continued to mount in the capital of Kyiv where Ukraine military forces fended off Russian assaults. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday ordered his country’s nuclear weapons to be prepared for heightened readiness to launch because of what he described as “aggressive statements” by Western adversaries, stoking fears of the possibility of nuclear war.Putin’s order comes as Ukraine’s outgunned and outnumbered forces have put up a fierce defense across the country, repelling the Russian offensive launched last Wednesday. The Russian leader is reportedly “furious” at the slow-going invasion that he had expected to be over in a matter of days.
