It is reported that after NATO launched nuclear exercises in the middle of this month, Russia also conducted nuclear exercises simultaneously in the late month. Although both sides claimed that this was "routine", it inevitably caused panic. The focus of the exercises between the two sides is very different: NATO countries mainly use air projection forces such as fighter jets, and the ground forces are not dispatched much; while Russia dispatched strategic rocket forces on a large scale and launched strategic ballistic missiles and cruise missiles for live-fire training. It can be seen that Russia and the West have a very different concept of "using nuclear".
Then the " dirty bomb " incident occurred later this month. The general process was that Russia accused Ukraine of trying to detonate this weapon of mass destruction (radioactive) and then falsely accusing Russia of Russia. Russia's permanent representative to the United Nations Nebian Jia wrote a letter to the UN Secretary-General on the 24th, calling on the UN to take action to prevent Ukraine from using "dirty bombs" to provoke. Although the matter has been magnified internationally, Europe and the United States still insist on condemning Russia's "causing trouble" and supporting Ukraine's position. Therefore, it is inevitable that things will reach a dangerous moment. The key is whether the "last line of defense" of weapons of mass destruction can be broken through, which is related to the security of all countries around the world.
27, Russian President Putin made the latest statement on the "nuclear issue" at the meeting. He said the current situation is that Russia does not need to launch an nuclear strike against Ukraine, because it is meaningless in both military and political terms; and Russia has never said (to Ukraine) the possibility of using nuclear weapons . Everything is a theory proposed by Western countries , with the purpose of smearing the Russian government. In addition, Putin also mentioned that the only leader who said "nuclear weapons" was precisely former British Prime Minister Trass, who once publicly stated that she was "prepared for the use of nuclear weapons"; in short, Russia's nuclear weapons has only one purpose, which is to "only allow" to be used for defensive strategies.
Some analysts believe that Putin just emphasized two days ago that the need to "accelerate the process of special military operations", which was interpreted by some media as a harbinger of Russia's desire to use nuclear weapons. So Putin's statement may be to dispel some of the concerns of other countries: even if the Russian army faces difficulties on the battlefield, it will not use nuclear weapons. This is the bottom line principle. Regarding whether the "dirty bomb" issue is Russia intending to use it or Ukraine is preparing to direct and act on its own, the US government publicly stated on Wednesday that there is no sign of Russia using "dirty bomb" at present; this undoubtedly shows that if the situation really happens, the blame will be attributed to Ukraine, which is a reminder to the Ukrainian government.
Also worth mentioning is that after Putin's statement, Western media believed that this passage was ambiguity and "no sincerity". Because Putin just said that "nuclear weapons are not used on Ukrainian territory" and that "nuclear weapons are used for defense nature", then four states including Lugansk and in eastern Ukraine have passed the so-called "referendum". Russia regards it as a territory. Will Russia use nuclear weapons on these lands for "defense"? None of these questions answered. There is a comment on this: "Any prediction about 'whether to use' is fundamentally a false proposition. No one really knows whether Russia wants to use nuclear weapons or Ukraine wants to use dirty bombs, provided that when all this is only in the preparatory stage; so cooling down to prevent tragedy is the most effective, but unfortunately this consensus has not been reached in the West."
