BBC World Service - Newshour, Putin says Western rhetoric risks nuclear conflict

Russia's president claims Russia is winning in Ukraine, but the West risks nuclear war

In his annual state of the nation address President Putin claims Russia is winning in Ukraine, but any deployment of Western troops in Ukraine would have "tragic" consequences

President Putin uses his annual state of the nation address to claim Russia is winning in Ukraine, but says Western talk of putting boots on the ground risks nuclear conflict and 'the destruction of civilisation'. 

Also in the programme: the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says more than 100 people have been killed waiting for aid, just hours before the ministry announced that more than 30,000 people had been killed in the conflict; and why doctors in South Korea are resisting government pressure to end their week-long strike
