Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin is ready to use nuclear weapons, but that doesn't mean he can do it.

At the same time, if the West does not respond to a possible nuclear attack on Ukraine, Russia will win the war.

This opinion was expressed by political technologist Mykhailo Sheitelman during a conversation with a journalist of Channel 24.

"Moscow reckons that the US, Britain and France will be frightened by Putin's actions because of a possible all-out nuclear war. Wherever he strikes, this whole war will end in about 11 minutes. He will strike Ukraine somewhere. It is not known where exactly. After that, the Americans or the British will strike, as they promised, against Russia. At this moment, the strategic forces will be launched and that's it - go ahead, the whole war has started... Putin will not even know how everything will end," said the political technologist.

According to the expert, the possible strike will be on Ukraine, because Putin believes that the West will not respond to this.

"He is counting on this: that the West will be afraid to strike Russia in response. He said, why would the Americans suffer for the sake of Ukraine? He understands that if he hits America with even one small missile, the immediate response will be an all-out nuclear strike." Sheitelman believes.

In his opinion, in such a situation, the nuclear potential of the Americans, the British and the French will "fly towards Russia".

"That's why Putin expects that those "as usual" will not respond. This is the whole idea. And if Russia strikes, and the West does not respond, everything is fine for the Kremlin. It will win the war. And if the West responds, then Russia will cease to exist. If the missile there will be little power, it will not affect them... This is a completely realistic story," the observer reasoned.

Will the Kremlin dare


, Sheitelman is convinced, Putin is ready to make a decision about a nuclear strike, given his "logic of behavior."

"This does not mean that he can make such a decision. It also does not mean that the strike itself can be carried out, because the missile must still be "screwed in", "placed", it must not be shot down by the American anti-missile system, and still reach somewhere. All Russian warheads are registered in America, so the US will fight this," the expert said.

He added that Ukraine could end this war in a few months if it "squeezed out" the Russians from all the occupied territories.

As for the mobilization in the Russian Federation, the expert added: this is a plus for a few more months of war for Ukraine.

"The only thing left to hope for is that maybe there will be people in the Russian Federation who don't need it. It can happen. I hope that Putin has brought his death closer, that this is the agony of the Russian regime. We will now see how the mobilization will go." Sheitelman noted.

We will remind, Joe Biden also condemned Russian dictator Vladimir Putin for nuclear threats against Ukraine.
