Russian President

may try to use nuclear weapons if the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroy ten times as many Russian soldiers.

With his terrible actions, which Russia can still do, Putin will accelerate the involvement of NATO in the war.

Russian businessman Yevhen Chichvarkin expressed this opinion in an interview with the publication "GORDON".

"Putin will try to sit down, scare everyone so that everyone obeys and in no case make an attempt on his right to seize the rest of Ukraine," Chichvarkin said.

In his opinion, Putin probably will not use nuclear weapons now, however, if the Armed Forces "send ten times more soldiers to the other world, which de facto can happen, then it can be used."

"If you corner a rat, you can use it," says the Russian businessman.

According to Chichvarkin, Putin may throw out another trick.

"I think, unfortunately, the level of nightmare that Putin can create is such that NATO will have to get involved sooner. In fact, they are responding to his actions. I fear that Putin, with his new terrible acts, will accelerate the involvement of NATO in the conflict and the supply of the same heavy weapons, to knock out the Russian army on the borders of its territory," he said.

It will be recalled that the head of the Russian delegation to the UN Commission on Disarmament, Konstantin Vorontsov,

the possibility of a direct military confrontation between Russia and NATO.
