To avenge his army’s humiliating loss in a “tipping point” combat in northeastern Ukraine, MAD Vlad might use nuclear weapons.
The armies of the Russian despot appear to have experienced an astounding collapse, as Ukraine has taken back vast swaths of territory from the invaders.
Nearly 3000 soldiers have been slain, and a billion dollars’ worth of weapons have been lost. Thousands more have been captured.
As a result, Putin may command the deployment of nuclear weapons in an effort to alter the tide of the battle, according to Nato’s former deputy secretary general Rose Gottemoeller.
She stated, “I worry that they’ll respond now in totally unforeseen ways and ways that might potentially involve using WMDs.”
Growing requests from hawks in Moscow to completely remove the gloves in order to destroy Ukraine’s opposition have led to concerns of an H-bomb overreaction.
In order to terrorise not only the Ukrainian people but also Ukraine’s allies and partners around the world, the former US official warned that Russia could order a “nuclear demonstration strike, either a single strike over the Black Sea or perhaps a strike against Ukrainian military installation.”
She issued the warning at the same time as Ukraine’s top general warned that Russia poses a real threat of using tactical nuclear weapons there.
Putin’s order to deploy nuclear weapons, according to General Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, could push us into the start of a third World War.
US authorities claimed the win could be a turning point in the war as Ukrainian defenders took control of a large area in the northern Kharkiv province.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky claimed that in just 12 days, his troops had launched a dramatic surprise operation that had liberated more than 6,000 square kilometres of territory.
The lionhearted leader urged friends to arm themselves so that his army might hammer home its advantage and signed a condolence book for the Queen.
General Lord Richard Dannatt, a former commander of the British Army, emphasised the importance of sending additional weaponry to “maintain the pressure on Russia.”
Russia’s setback in Kharkiv was its worst since being routed from Kyiv last spring.
It came after months of gruelling artillery battles, during which Russia slowly advanced in Donbas by obliterating everything in its way.
Russia’s most recent losses, according to Britain, have crippled its military forces and will take years to recover from.
According to the Ministry of Defense, Russia’s conventional military has been significantly depleted.
“It will likely take years for Russia to rebuild this capability.”
Russia was successfully conned into bolstering southern Kherson by Ukraine, leaving the north undefended.
According to the Institute for the Study of War, Russia’s northern Donbas axis was destroyed by Ukraine’s lightning onslaught.
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said that Russia has already lost some 80,000 soldiers to death, capture, injury, or defection.
Ukraine claimed that during its most recent attack, it made so many new prisoners of war that it was having trouble housing them.
Soldiers from the 1st Guards Tank Army were among those who evacuated northeastern Kharkiv (1 GTA).
