British media reported that Putin allegedly sent a train with a nuclear arsenal to the Ukrainian border . However, there is no reason to panic yet.
Such an opinion Channel 24said military expert Denis Popovich. According to him, it is important to keep track of information about the further movement of the so-called “nuclear train”.
Why you should not panic about the “nuclear train”
< p> However it is not necessary to do advance conclusions. After all, it is not known for sure whether the train is really transporting nuclear weapons and where it is going.
As long as it's scarecrows. This does not mean that nuclear weapons will necessarily be used, including against Ukraine or against Ukrainian troops that are now on the counteroffensive,” Popovych stressed.
How Russia trying to intimidate Ukraine and the world
A military expert suggested that information about the tipping of nuclear weapons into the borders of Ukraine could be an element of an information-psychological operation (IPSO).
Russia can thus try to demonstrate its readiness to use nuclear weapons. The next step could be some kind of nuclear exercise,” Popovich said.
He added that only after all this, Russia could resort to combat use.
“However, this will not necessarily happen on the territory of Ukraine. The Kremlin can use nuclear weapons, for example, over the sea” , the military expert added.
Will Putin use nuclear weapons
Even though there are no clear signs yet that Putin is ready to use a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, such a possibility cannot be completely ruled out.
It is difficult to say how the nuclear blackmail story will end. But it cannot be ruled out that it will come to the actual use of nuclear weapons. Such a possibility exists,” Popovich noted.
