Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, has described the Russian President’s sabre rattling about nuclear weapons as “deeply disturbing.”

Kishida on Saturday warned that Russia using nuclear weapons would be seen as an “act of hostility against humanity,” as Japan remains the only country to have ever been hit with a nuclear bomb.

“Russia’s act of threatening the use of nuclear weapons is a serious threat to the peace and security of the international community and absolutely unacceptable,” said Kishida.
