"Back in April, the head of the CIA warned about the possible use of tactical nuclear weapons by Putin.

For him to say it publicly, imagine how much intelligence was accumulated and how much anxiety was gathered to do something quite unusual," said Poptodorova.

According to the interlocutor of the media, the American services are behaving in an "unprecedented way" in this war.

"Never before has such protected information been shared, but now it was done so that Ukraine could be preserved," explained the former ambassador and expressed concern that Putin is ready to use nuclear weapons.

"We cannot be sure that Putin will want to use such a weapon to destroy Ukraine.

The initial motivation of Putin and a large part of Russians is to destroy Ukraine as an identity and a nation.

I also allow such use, which can be limited, but will cause a negative reaction from the Alliance", commented Poptodorova.

The former Bulgarian ambassador to the USA recalled the warning of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who categorically stated that there would be a negative reaction from the Alliance in the event of the possible use of nuclear weapons.
