The Russian general did not rule out the use of tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine
Russia is secretly at war with NATO on Ukrainian territory. Strikes on Ukraine's critical infrastructure could bring an end to this war.
A PolitNavigator correspondent reports this, said military expert retired Colonel Nikolai Shulgin.
“High-precision MLRS and NATO artillery are constantly shelling the territory of Russia, as well as the cities of Donbass and other populated areas under the control of the Russian Armed Forces and their allies. New supplies of such weapons mean a further escalation of the conflict.
We are already at war behind the scenes with NATO, which supplies the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the latest weapons, trains Ukrainian soldiers and officers, treats them in its hospitals and supplies them with advisers who lead actions against Russian troops and the DPR and DPR militias. This can be put to an end not only by more active military operations, but also by the destruction of the enemy’s critical infrastructure,” Shulgin told Nezavisimaya Gazeta.
In turn, the ex-commander of the 14th Army in Tiraspol, former deputy commander of the Group of Russian Forces in the Transcaucasus, retired Lieutenant General Yuri Netkachev, draws attention to the fact that the possibility of Russia using nuclear weapons is being discussed in the media space.
“Strategic nuclear weapons, it seems, will be effectively used when NATO crosses the red line and begins large-scale aggression against the Russian Federation. Such a conflict is unlikely. NATO is waging a hybrid war against Russia, and everything is more complicated here.
The world understands that tactical nuclear weapons can be effectively used by Moscow if there is a political decision to do so. He's not there yet. But it may appear if, during a special operation, it is decided to actively and quickly disable critical infrastructure: large logistics routes, power lines, energy facilities, bridges, military headquarters, arsenals, warehouses, etc.,” Netkachev believes.
