NATO troops to Ukraine were frightened in Russia. Why Putin's new nuclear blackmail

The next wave of nuclear blackmail of the President of the Russian Federation coincided with the statements of the event to sending a military contingent to Ukraine. The United States carefully referred to NATO soldiers' transfer because they do not want to get a new Afghanistan on the eve of the election campaign. The focus understood whether to fear the aggressive rhetoric of Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin has once again declared his readiness for nuclear war.

Russia's strategic nuclear forces are constantly in a state of combat readiness, from a military-technical point of view, he was also ready, he said in an interview with propagandist Dmitry Kiselev. At the same time, the dictator began to compare his nuclear triad with American potential. The carriers and charges of the two countries have approximate parity, in Russia technology is more modern, Putin is convinced. "It does not mean that we should measure the number of carriers and warriors.

But know about it . . . they develop all their components. We are too. But it does not mean that they, in my opinion, are ready to resolve this nuclear tomorrow war. Well, they want, but what to do so. We are ready, "the head of state said. Further, Putin touched the issue of sending foreign troops to Ukraine. Washington is not going to do so because he realizes that Moscow would regard such a step as the introduction of US troops into Russian territory as an intervention.

He said nothing about sending military people from France, Poland, Germany or other European country. "There, except Baiden and others, there are enough experts in the field of Russian-American relations and in the field of strategic restraint. So I do not think that everything is rushed in the forehead here, but we are ready for it,"-explained the President of Russia.

Putin reminded the main provisions of the nuclear strategy: the Russian Federation will apply any weapon, including nuclear, if there is a threat to the existence, sovereignty and independence of the state. Nuclear blackmail may be linked to statements to the departure of troops of individual NATO countries. French President Emmanuel Macron, at a meeting with parliamentarians on March 7, allowed the departure of a French contingent if the Russian army advanced towards Kiev or Odessa.

The Minister of Defense of the country Sebastian Lecorton was forced to clarify the words of Macron: the troops will only "actually be present" in Ukraine and not participate in the battles. Poland and Lithuania immediately supported the idea of ​​sending NATO troops to Ukraine. Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielus Landsbergis is convinced that it was time to discuss the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine.

Need a "creatively thoughtful and asymmetrical escalation" for Putin to be afraid, supplemented by the head of the Polish Ministry of Defense Radoslav Sikorsky. Italy and Germany were more restrained: France and Poland cannot speak on behalf of NATO. At the same time, the General of the Alliance Jens Stoltenberg denied the existence of plans for the departure of troops to Ukraine. NATO and the Bloc Allies are not a party to the conflict.

It should be noted that the US has never talked about plans to send troops to Ukraine. Moreover, this should not be expected in the midst of the election presidential campaign. Americans do not want a new Afghanistan or Iraq, says the head of the Ukrainian Center for Security and Cooperation, military expert Sergey Kuzan. "Putin's elementary manipulation. He realizes that Washington will not send the army. But Putin was silent about France in an interview.

It is this country that is the main one in the potential coalition to send military contingents," the expert says in a conversation with focus. France's nuclear weapons are more substantive. The main problem is who and to what level will raise the bet. What does Macron say if Putin addresses him the threat to turn Paris into a nuclear ash. Kuzan noted that Blef became the main weapon of the Russians.

Initially, the Russian Federation talked about the incredible power of the second army in the world and misleading the tactical and technical characteristics of ordinary weapons. As a result, in the first year of a full -scale invasion of the Armed Forces destroyed a large percentage of the professional army of the Russian Federation.

Volodymyr Putin has repeatedly spoke of nuclear weapons after the start of a full -scale invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine in the context of the transfer of Western weapons to Ukraine. It is now about another spike in nuclear rhetoric, but China has been influenced by the aggressor's behavior, says Focus expert on relations on relations, President of the Globalism Center "XXI" Mikhail Gonchar Strategy.

Russia's ally is not interested in significant escalation of hostilities, because Beijing is important to maintain economic ties. The head of the PRC Xi Jinpen during the visit to Moscow in March 2023 spoke it by Putin, the expert emphasizes. Kiev should not be afraid of the Kremlin threats, otherwise the factor of fear will work. Western partners, ready to send military assistance to Ukraine, can insist on finding compromises with Moscow.

At the same time, Macron's statements about the departure of a military contingent to Ukraine do not mean participation in hostilities. Technical experts will come to train the Armed Forces on site. "When weapons are shipped, consultants and advisers come to help in operation, this is a common practice," Gonchar explains. You can also help placed in Romania the Squadrilles of the French Bombers Mirage.

They will patrol the Northwest Sector of the Black Sea and the protection of the international trade corridor from Odessa to Bosphorus. In parallel, the planes will destroy rockets and drones of the Russians, summed up the analyst. Recall that the US intelligence report on the main security threats to the Russian general military strategy towards nuclear weapons. The reason for the shift is the inability to achieve rapid victories in Ukraine.
