The probability of proceeding with nuclear weapons is very low, regardless of the rhetoric of the Russian Duma and Medvedev.

This is a difficult decision that will have serious consequences.

Assuming Putin is tempted, it could be a warning nuclear detonation high in the atmosphere in the Black Sea if the Russian army starts to withdraw uncontrollably from the front line.

This was commented by Major General Sabi Sabev, former military representative of Bulgaria in NATO.

According to him, Ukraine will not sit at the negotiating table on Russia's terms.

"Over 100 kilotons go to strategic nuclear weapons, such as ballistic missiles, as well as bombers," the general explained.

And he added that the president's consultative meeting was adequate to the situation.

Elena Poptodorova, a diplomat and former ambassador to the USA, for her part believes that Bulgaria is already in the conflict and Russia is a threat.

"We are looking for all kinds of euphemisms to avoid the truth, but this is a boomerang. I am afraid that episodic provocations will begin, such as nuclear submarines off the coast of Norway. I admit that Putin may resort to tactical nuclear weapons . There is no sign of readiness for a retreat or a truce," she pointed out.

According to her, the CSNS should be convened.

"In this way, party leaders will be attracted and decisions will be made in the widest possible collective composition," Poptodorova believes.
