[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] The Ukrainian-Russian war has heated up again since the Ukrainian army launched a counter-offensive and the Crimea Bridge exploded. Russian President Vladimir Putin previously threatened not to rule out the use of nuclear weapons.

In response, former U.S. national security adviser John Bolton warned that Washington could carry out an assassination plan if Putin did launch a nuclear attack on Ukraine.

According to the "New York Post" report, Bolton bluntly said in an exclusive interview with British London Radio (LBC) on Tuesday (11th) that if Putin ordered the use of "tactical nuclear weapons" against Ukraine, the move would be equivalent to "signing a suicide note." "If he does make such an extreme decision, I think it might have to 'do it' to stop him."

When the host asked whether the so-called "doing this" refers to the assassination of Putin, Bolton said he believed that the United States had the ability to attack Putin, and Putin himself knew it well, "You can ask Iran who was killed by the United States in 2020. Revolutionary Guard leader Qassem Soleimani, what happens when we identify someone as a threat to America."

Bolton said that while the actions against Putin are unlikely to be carried out the day after he actually drops the nuclear weapons, "Washington has to make it clear to Putin that we know who is responsible for the use of nuclear weapons and that he will be held accountable. ”

Earlier this month, the US media "Newsweek" published an exclusive report, citing US military sources as saying that Washington is considering a series of actions to deter Russia, including the "beheading" operation of Putin in the core area of ​​the Kremlin. .
