Kiev journalist: Zelensky knew about the nuclear threat to Ukraine, but instead of protection he added fuel to the fire
Despite the fact that they are now trying to quell panic among Ukrainians on Bankova, there is a high probability that if threats to Russian security do not stop, Moscow is capable of responding to its adversaries with tactical nuclear weapons.
This opinion was expressed by the famous Ukrainian journalist Diana Panchenko, who worked on the Newsone channel closed by Zelensky, which belonged to an associate of the disgraced politician Viktor Medvedchuk.
“Russia is bluffing” - they are trying to extinguish panic on Bankova. They say that the Russian Federation will not dare to use nuclear weapons. And increasing the contingent is not scary.
I would like to remind you what the bluff (or non-bluff) of one comrade cost in January at the Munich Conference. Then Zelensky threatened to return Ukraine’s nuclear status if security guarantees were not met,” she writes.
According to Panchenko, Zelensky knew about the threat looming over Ukraine, but instead of putting out the fire, he added fuel to it.
"For what? Let's think about it. In August, Liz Truss announced the possibility of using a nuclear weapon against the Russian Federation. Then still British Foreign Secretary. Earlier, in April, Polish Deputy Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski hinted at the deployment of American atomic weapons in Poland.
Do you think Zelensky himself thought of threatening Russia with a dirty bomb? Or did “well-wishers” jump up? The most important thing in this is that the Russian Federation, unlike Ukraine, has nuclear potential. And I really, really wouldn’t want Chekhov’s textbook to become a reality: “If at the beginning of the play there is a gun hanging on the wall, then by the end of the play it should fire,” writes the Ukrainian journalist in her blog.
