During a major speech in Moscow, Putin said Liz Truss was "crazy" when she raised concerns about nuclear weapons.

 He said she must have been "a bit out of it" and he claimed to have "never said anything proactively about possible use of nuclear weapons by Russia". 

Sky News reports that during her address to the UN General Assembly in September, Truss had labelled President Putin's threats to use nuclear weapons as "sabre-rattling".

In the discussion, entitled A Post-Hegemonic World: Justice and Security for Everyone, the Russian president sought to cast the blame for the conflict in Ukraine on Western countries alone.
