It is necessary to stop the terrorist pressure that Russia exerts in Europe - Mikhail Podolyak in an interview with Bild

Today, Russia is gradually reducing its rhetorical threats with nuclear weapons. There is a protocol by which nuclear powers operate, ”he said. Mikhail Podolyak noted that the world has been doing a lot to allow Russia to use nuclear weapons, including relevant warning statements from US President Joseph Baiden and NATO Secretary -General Jens Stoltenberg. UN Secretary General Guterres also called on Russia to immediately stop rhetoric on nuclear threats.

The adviser to the head of the Presidential Office noted that Russia invaded the territory of Ukraine with ordinary weapons, and our troops went on a counter -offensive and rejected the Russian army with the help of ordinary weapons. "Russia says:" If Ukraine does not allow us to leave the territories we have invaded and which we cannot keep ordinary weapons, we will use nuclear weapons. " Here's how a nuclear state threatens a non -nuclear state.

If Russia is not stopped now, other countries will refuse the day (a non-proliferation agreement. These countries will try to find nuclear weapons components in the black market or somewhere. Russia not only threatens Ukraine, it breaks the key element of global security, ”says adviser to the Presidential Office Head. That is why, according to him, other countries are rigidly responding to blackmail by a nuclear weapon.

“It is clear to everyone that they should give Russia a symmetrical response. Those who want to use nuclear weapons will receive the answer, and Russia seems to understand it, ”said Mikhail Podolyak. The adviser to the head of the head of state expressed the conviction that despite the statement of the Russian Federation, he would not use nuclear weapons, including tactical.

“Today we see a sharp decline in nuclear threat in Russian rhetoric - if you ignore propagandists and talk about officials. We see a sharp decrease in nuclear threat, and this is a good sign. Russia acknowledged that it could wage war on ordinary weapons, but any attempt to use nuclear weapons will lead to an immediate response, ”he stated. In addition to nuclear blackmail, Mikhail Podolyak also mentioned the terrorist pressure that Russia exerts in Europe, in particular in the energy sphere.

The Russian Federation not only undermines its own gas pipelines, but also tries to damage the Ukrainian GTS and delay the supply of gas ordered by European countries. According to the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office, the Russians believe that it will force Germany to receive gas through the Nord Stream - 2 branch and approve its operation. In order to prevent this scenario, it is necessary to protect the Ukrainian critical infrastructure from the defeat of Russian rockets.

Therefore, there is a need to strengthen the Ukrainian air defense and closing the sky from Russian winged missiles, Mikhail Podolyak emphasized. “Yes, we are waiting for attacks, and Russia has publicly stated it. Their goal is to destroy civilian infrastructure as they can do nothing on the battlefield. We are aware of this and, together with our partners, we develop critical object protection programs.
