MANILA, Philippines — President Rodrigo R. Duterte warned on Wednesday night that Russia’s threat to use tactical or low-yield nuclear weapons in Ukraine might have the worst conceivable consequences for the entire globe.

In a speech commemorating the 501st anniversary of the Victory of Mactan in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, Duterte expressed his displeasure with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s nuclear threats, raising fears that they could spell the end of the world.

“Kay og kanang panghadlok gud ni Putin, dili gud na maayo, dili gud na maayo, dili gud na maayo, dili gud na maayo, Kay og iya gyud ng tinud-on og pislit ng butones ana pag – unya nuclear, unya magka-giyera gyud og kanang baylo-ay na og nuclear arms, I believe nga kitang tanan, nagpaabot na si – akong Kuya La If he really clicks the button and it goes nuclear, and they deploy nuclear weapons, I believe my brother Lapulapu is waiting for all of us in heaven),” he stated.

Duterte did not go into detail, but he did stress the significance of taking a stand in the face of events like Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

“Atong history kay it’s changing ba, ang kalibutan history.” How we react, define ourselves, and stand aning karong fight if it truly turns nuclear (Our history, the history of our globe, is evolving.) How we react, define ourselves, and position ourselves in this conflict if it becomes nuclear),” he continued.

Duterte previously stated that the Philippines will remain “neutral” in the continuing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Duterte made a similar speech on March 4, but added that the country may have to “select sides” in the future.

He said he’s crossing his fingers that the situation doesn’t “get out of hand.”

On April 12, Duterte said Russia’s invasion of Ukraine deserved “condemnation” in a speech in Butuan City.

Despite referring to Putin as a “friend,” Duterte criticized Russia’s attacks on Ukraine as “very savage.”

He also stated that he was different from Putin in that he only permitted “criminals” to be killed, whereas the latter allowed bombings of children and the elderly.

The Philippines is joining the rest of the world in praying for an “early and peaceful” settlement to the dispute between Russia and Ukraine, according to Malacanang, especially because the world is still recovering from the impacts of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24, has resulted in thousands of deaths and prompted over five million people to flee the country.

Russia’s military forces have launched an unprovoked and unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine, according to Ukraine and the West.
