Ukraine War: Chance of Russia launching a nuclear attack could grow

The chance of Russia launching a nuclear attack could grow once Vladimir Putin bogusly declares four Ukrainian regions Russian - and Ukraine needs to be ready, a Ukrainian regional governor has said.

Pavlo Kyrylenko, the governor of the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine, said resorting to the nuclear option would "plunge them (Russia) into an abyss" before Moscow even acted.

Putin is going to save the planet by invading it and then blasting it with nukes. This man is genius.

[exp-eri-mental]

Stop normalising the threat of nukes. It shouldn't even be entertained.

why would russia be ALLOWED to count the votes of a referendum outside their country?

[baronzeegmot]

Nord stream just got blown up. Sounds like we're getting closer to this outcome day by day.

Russia is a joke.

The use by Russia of tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine is unlikely:
(1) they are most effective against massed units of personnel and armour, and the Ukrainian Army follows NATO doctrine in keeping its forces dispersed, only concentrating them for attack 'punches' through enemy lines - although the consequences of a nuclear attack would be severe, the Ukrainians have prepared for this eventuality and they will not be cowed by Russian threats;
(2) Russia would lose the support of a key ally, China, and India would no longer remain neutral in its attitude towards the war - Russia would be left with few, if any, friends;
(3) NATO would launch a massive non-nuclear response, for example it is quite capable of destroying the Russian Black Sea fleet;
(4) Putin could not be certain that his senior commanders would obey such an order - it could even precipitate a Kremlin coup;
(5) It would take time to organise a nuclear attack and the preparations would be difficult to conceal, and, as far as we can be aware, Western intelligence have picked up no signs of Russian weapons being readied and a target zone(s) being cleared of Russian forces.
When a man says he's not bluffing, it usually means he is.

In Thailand there a lot of Ruzzian Prosti.does it mean that Putin will annex thailand too soon because of ruzzian speakers in thailand?

[frikandelkroket]

The annexed areas can enjoy a good amount of radioactive fallout after the tactical nuke.

everyone is afraid to die, not a single world leader dares nuclear war. love the world and everything in it even though a nation wants a brave leader.

We'll meet again,
Don't know where,
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day

Media: "Chance of Russia launching a nuclear attack could grow"

Conclusion: "Ok, let's deliver more weapons to Ukraine."

[LeafWasp]

He should have said, "Don't fight your brothers". When asked what he'd say to the Russian people that have been mobilised by Putin's Regime.

[garyrock]

Nothing has changed really, Russia's threat of using nukes has been a constant from the start of the war. That threat can never be countenanced because it could be used to take over the whole world.

Game of thrones in real life, they need Putin to have a wedding.

[ApriliaGuy]

Just supposed if he were to use a Tactical Nuke in Ukraine, Russia would be finished on the global stage and economically it would become totally isolated.

[IDCSarcasticSam]

When the word "could" is used as the word "would" for fearmongering purposes.

[fantasy]

They still don't get it. "We don't care who's in charge" and "we just want peace" aren't compatible.
