President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that Russia had never talked about using nuclear weapons - but said that Britain had engaged in "nuclear blackmail" against his country.
Speaking during a major speech in Moscow, the Russian brute hit out at the UK's former prime minister for comments she made while she was foreign secretary.
The warmonger said the West, including Britain's ex-Prime Minister Liz Truss, had engaged in "nuclear blackmail" against Russia and specifically named Ms Truss, saying she must have been "a bit out of it" with her nuclear comments
Putin claimed to have "never said anything proactively about the possible use of nuclear weapons by Russia".
Instead, he said the Kremlin have "only hinted in response to statements made by western leaders."
He was likely referencing Ms Truss' address to the UN General Assembly in September when she said Putin's threats to use nuclear weapons were "sabre-rattling".
He went on during the speech at the Valdai Discussion Club, a Moscow-based thinktank, to accuse Britain and the West of playing a "dangerous, dirty and deadly game" in Ukraine and claimed that the era of western domination was over.
He continued: "Madame Liz Truss, the ex-prime minister of the United Kingdom - she said it directly in her conversation with representatives of the media.
"She said that the UK is a nuclear power and the prime minister has it in its mandate. Then the possible use of nuclear weapons.
"And she said that she's prepared to do that and no one responded in any way while she just made a folly.
"She was a bit out of it. But can you say these things publicly?
"Well, even if she said it, someone should have corrected that.
"Washington, for example, could have said that they have nothing to do with that."
The Russian leader spoke about everything he thinks is wrong about the west for around 40-minutes.
He said his country will "never put up with" what the West tells it to do, despite Russia not considering itself an enemy of the west.
The news comes just a day after Putin oversaw Russia’s first nuclear exercises since the beginning of the war.
Russia’s defence ministry released footage of officers pushing nuclear launch buttons and a submarine submerging before blasting one missile into the sky.
Russia's Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said it was a “mass nuclear strike with strategic attack forces in response to a nuclear attack by our adversary."
Putin repeated unfounded claims via videoconference that the US had made Ukraine a “test site for military biological experiments."
He complained that the west was “pumping it up with weapons” and ignoring “provocations” using a dirty bomb, a conventional explosive carrying radioactive material.
