"Useful when not used": Experts told that it is behind Putin's nuclear threats

According to journalists, Russia has as much as 2000 tactical nuclear weapons. It can be used in several ways, including with a rocket or artillery projectile. Russian President Vladimir Putin began to make his nuclear rhetoric more radical. He has suspected the West that he could use this type of weapon in Ukraine. About it writes The New York Times.

It is reported that high -ranking Russian generals have already discussed the circumstances under which they can use tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine. However, retired Lieutenant General and the former Commander-in-Chief of the US Army in Europe Ben Hodges is convinced that Russia is extremely unlikely that Russia will apply tactical nuclear weapons. He stated that Russia did not have trained troops who could make such a blow.

"Their nuclear weapons are most useful for them when they do not use it. There is no advantage on the battlefield to use any nuclear weapons," Hodges said. He is convinced that instead, Russian leaders hope that nuclear threats will be enough to force Ukraine to start diplomatic talks and make concessions that Russia has not been able to reach on the battlefield. But Russia's attempts to force Ukraine to give way to failure.

Journalists write that Russia's attempts to expand their conscription and mobilize more of their population to participate in the fighting were unpopular. According to Jonathan Tibner, the executive director of FilterLabs, a company that tracks public sentiment in Russia, for most of October, Russia's attitude to nuclear war was negative.

But, as the expert said, public opinion has changed after the media began to appear in Russian politicians about the so -called "dirty bomb", which is allegedly prepared to apply Ukraine. "After the story of a dirty bomb, we found a significant increase in support for nuclear weapons," Tibner said. Earlier, Focus reported that the UN rejected the call of Russia to investigate the "production of Biosbroma" in Ukraine.

According to the United States, Russia is unjustified, insulting the UN Security Council and abusing its position. We will also remind that Arestovich told how many more Russia will beat Ukraine. According to Arestovich, the Ukrainian military knocks 70% of the funds that Russia launches towards Ukraine. It was also reported that the Armed Forces want to steal solar panels in the occupied areas of Ukraine.
