Russia continues to blackmail Ukraine and the world with nuclear weapons. Western countries must show Vladimir Putin that his threats do not work.
This opinion Channel 24 was expressed by Ivan Us, chief consultant of the National Institute for Strategic Studies. According to him, the Russian dictator is trying to scare the world with his statements about the possibility of using nuclear weapons.
The occupiers also create a potentially dangerous situation by shelling the South Ukrainian and occupied Zaporozhye nuclear power plants.
How the West should respond to Putin's nuclear threats
According to Us, Russia's nuclear blackmail can only be stopped by the tough stance of Western countries.
The West needs to understand that it is necessary not to be afraid of nuclear weapons, but to repeat the rhetoric of Liz Truss. While still heading the British Foreign Office, she said that as Prime Minister of Great Britain, if necessary, she was ready to use nuclear weapons, the analyst said.
He added that such statements were rarely heard from Western politicians, because everyone was afraid of the nuclear issue.
However, according to Uss, this is the kind of rhetoric that Russia understands best.
How to finally stop Russian nuclear blackmail
Therefore, the Kremlin should be warned that in the event of provocations, Western countries will act in advance.
Western countries should let Russia know that their intelligence is working. And as soon as they see at least signs of preparations for a nuclear strike, a preventive strike will be launched against Russia,” Us stressed.
He added that it is more efficient to convey this information not to the head of the Kremlin himself, but to those people who will technically carry out his order to use nuclear weapons.
How to stop Russian aggression
Also, Russia keeps the whole world in suspense by unleashing military conflicts.
The only argument that can stop Russian aggression is providing Ukraine with enough weapons to defeat the occupiers on the battlefield,” the analyst said.
Us stressed that After 7 months of war, Ukraine has proved that the presence of good weapons in the hands of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is an effective method of deterring the Russian army. Therefore, Western partners should increase the volume of military assistance.
“If the countries of the West have decided that this is a war of values, and have sided with Ukraine, that is, good, then you need to give it a good weapon so that evil is defeated,” he said.
Ivan Us analyzed Russia's nuclear threats and US actions: watch the video Russian President Vladimir Putin has again threatened a nuclear strike. NATO has warned that if weapons of mass destruction are used, “serious consequences” await Russia.
