The Russian Ambassador to the UK claims that the Kremlin will not use nuclear weapons in Ukraine/Channel 24 Collage
Despite constant threats from the Kremlin, Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrei Kelin does not believe his country will use tactical nuclear weapons.
Kelin, in an interview with the Sunday Morning, says that according to Russian military rules, such weapons are not used in conflicts like this. I wonder what Russian rules he suggests if the rules and customs of warfare are constantly violated by the occupiers.
The Ambassador called the condition when Russia strikes with a “nuclear weapon”
However, the ambassador convinces that Russia has very strict conditions for the use of nuclear weapons. In particular, when there is a threat to the existence of the state. He argues that this has nothing to do with the war, which the ambassador calls the current “operation”.
However, his subsequent statements testify to the level of veracity of Kaelin's words. He goes on to say that the allegations of war crimes in the city of Bucha were allegedly “a fabrication”. The ambassador argued the absurd thesis as follows: it seems to be “it is used only to interrupt negotiations.”
Tactical and strategic nuclear weapons
Note that tactical nuclear weapons can be used at relatively short distances. The strategic ones are launched at much greater distances, which creates an all-out nuclear war.
However, the tactical includes many types of weapons, in particular, small bombs and missiles used on the battlefield. It is believed that Russia has about 2,000 tactical nuclear weapons.
Russia scares with nuclear weapons
- The aggressor state has been reminding that it has nuclear weapons since the beginning of the invasion. According to experts, this is just a deterrent that will sound until the end of the war.
- However, the US Senate suggests that Putin may use nuclear weapons because of his own defeat and Ukraine's military successes.
- Advisor to the head of the OP Alexei Arestovich admitted that if the Kremlin decides to use nuclear weapons, it will receive an appropriate retaliatory strike. You won't be able to hide in the bunker, because NATO and the US have specially developed nuclear weapons that can penetrate there.
- The UN has also said that the threat of a nuclear conflict has become real again.
