The Kremlin understands this, so they use this method of conducting "diplomacy", since Putin no longer has anything to blackmail.

His army is

losing on the battlefield, and the pressure on Europe due to Russian gas is not helping

- the West continues to support Ukraine.

Former US Ambassador to Ukraine John Herbst told about this in an interview with Radio NV.

"His army is not winning in Ukraine, his gas is not forcing Europe to withdraw from Ukraine. This is his only card, but this card is only good as a bluff.

Using this card is a disaster not only for Ukraine, not only for the West, but also for Russia .

We have to be sober about such threats, we have to prepare. In my opinion, (

US President Joe

Biden's) strong speech at the UN was a good response to such threats," said the former US ambassador to Ukraine.

The American diplomat also disclosed that the US was in secret contact with Russia to warn Moscow of "a strong response from our side."

As previously written, Russia can launch a nuclear attack on Lviv or the Carpathians.

This opinion was expressed by military expert Dmytro Snegiryov.

According to him, Putin's army has up to 5,000 tactical nuclear warheads, and 2,500 are on combat duty.
