On Lviv TV they are brave: A nuclear strike is no longer so scary
The prospect of Moscow using tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine was discussed on air on the Lvov NTA channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The participants in the program came to the conclusion: the situation has gone so far that there is nothing particularly to be afraid of.
In response to the presenter’s question about how Ukrainians should feel about a possible nuclear strike from the Russian Federation, military correspondent of the 1+1 TV channel Andrei Tsaplienko (SBU sext, who took part in the interrogations of political prisoners) said that the apocalypse is no longer scary.
“First, remember your school lessons in civil defense. We quickly remembered what we were taught in civil defense lessons when the missile attacks began - to prepare for this in the same way. Really prepare mentally.
Although, it seems to me that, you know, they won’t scare us anymore. We have come to terms with the possibility that there is not a single safe place in Ukraine. Here you are now in a studio in Lvov, I’m hundreds of kilometers away from you, and you and I are really in dangerous places. It can fly at you, at me, at anyone. Countrywide.
That is, we are all hostages of Putin, and we are all on this so-called list of Putin’s victims. That is, our entire country and every Ukrainian. And this must be realized.
I think that the majority of Ukrainians are aware of this and somewhere they have calmed down morally and live with it.
Therefore, to scare the Ukrainians not with a tactical nuclear strike, and even with ballistic nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons that can be delivered using ballistic missiles, this will no longer happen.
This suggests that the use of nuclear weapons, in reality, to achieve Putin’s goals will not play any role,” Tsaplienko bravely said.
In turn, former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavel Klimkin began voicing threats.
“The main thing is that I also don’t see any red lines in his head about the use, including weapons of mass destruction. And only a very consistent response from the West (and I know that it was conveyed non-publicly to Putin and the Russian leadership) can tell him that if he agrees to this, then in fact he will not only be the one whose hands are not shaken, but the one who who will generally be deprived of any normal perception as a person. And, of course, everyone who surrounds him should also know that if a tribunal is created, there will be not one Putin and not one Shoigu, but all together,” Klimkin said intimidatingly.
