The Kremlin is once again threatening the world with nuclear weapons. The return to nuclear blackmail may be connected with Russia's preparations for the annexation of the occupied territories.
Russians in their nuclear threats fall into completely opposite states. Channel 24 was told by Russian human rights activist Mark Feigin.
Putin's child's play
According to him, a certain line can be traced in the Kremlin's policy regarding nuclear blackmail. When the tension drops, the occupiers add “heat” and then “cool down” the situation again.
“There is such a child's game -” hot – cold “. Such behavior is very typical for the way,” the human rights activist noted.
According to him, Russia's new threats about the possibility of using nuclear weapons in the event of a threat to the existence of the state completely contradict Putin's preliminary statements. According to Feygin, the new statements will not have any consequences for now.
These statements are aimed at maintaining the tension in which, in the opinion of the Russians, their opponents, primarily the West, should be. However, the longer the Russians play this game, the less their threats are taken seriously. Feigin noted.
The connection between nuclear blackmail and preparations for pseudo-referendums
The human rights activist suggested that the new praise of nuclear weapons may be related to preparations for pseudo-referendums in the occupied territories of Ukraine, which were scheduled for September.
Russia wants to show that if it Ukrainian territories, it will “protect” them in case of a “threat”. That is, we are talking about the so-called “territorial integrity” already taking into account Kherson, Zaporozhye, Donetsk and Lugansk. Like, we are ready,” said Feigin.
In his opinion, despite the information that the referendums may be postponed, the Kremlin will not cancel its plans.
“Russia will not abandon pseudo-referendaas a tool to seize Ukrainian territories. The Russians can maneuver depending on the situation at the front and in the international arena,” the human rights activist said.
