Although Hamish de Bretton-Gordon doubts that Vladimir Putin will take nuclear threats seriously, he believes there is every reason to consider the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons if Russia faces a military defeat that is difficult to explain. Then the threshold will be low to regain respect and avoid outright humiliation.

Putin continues to do the unbelievable

It would be amazing if Putin used tactical nuclear weapons. However, Putin continues to do the incredible. So, I don’t think we can get rid of the fact that he does not want to use this type of weapon, as the former army chief points out.

On Wednesday, it became known that Russian military leaders discussed possible attacks with tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine. This is according to American sources New York times.

But Hamish de Bretton-Gordon believes there are also other ways to cause a nuclear disaster. If Putin desires, he can choose to blow up or set fire to Europe’s largest nuclear power plant in Zaporizhia.

– I think the biggest threat is cutting off electricity and heating in Ukraine. and shutting down nuclear power plants, which Putin said he would do. To do that, he has to blow them up or incinerate them, says Britton Gordon.

– It just gets worse and worse

The situation at the nuclear power plant occupied by Russia continues to deteriorate. Constant power outages and the risk of a dam bursting, which provides the water supply to the power plant.

– The situation in the whole region is chaotic and dangerous, and it is getting worse. We think what’s happening is very worrying, says Director of Emergency Preparedness Astrid Leyland at the Directorate of Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety (DSA) for It can already be checked.
