“Russia’s nuclear weapons training is a response to Western statements about sending troops to Ukraine.” This is a fake
#спростуванняЦентру
Lie: Exercises with non-strategic nuclear weapons are connected with statements coming from the West about readiness to send troops to Ukraine. This was announced by Putin’s press secretary Peskov.
Truth: This is a lie, because no Western country has decided to send troops to Ukraine, and nuclear weapons training is one of the elements of blackmail and intimidation of Western countries to stop logistical support for the Defense Forces.
🤜 The West is not afraid of the Kremlin’s threats of “escalation”. Digest of the Center for Strategic Communications
First, Deputy Head of the Russian Security Council Medvedev promised a nuclear strike on European cities. Then the Russian Federation announced the start of exercises “in the near future”, which will include practicing the use of non-strategic nuclear weapons.
And finally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation stated that it would perceive the appearance of F-16 aircraft in Ukraine as carriers of nuclear weapons, regardless of their modification.
And it also warned the ambassador of Great Britain that any British military objects and equipment in Ukraine and abroad could be British weapons in response to strikes on Russian territory.
Few people in the West were frightened. The most revealing was the reaction of Washington, which officially declared that they see no reason to adjust the readiness of its nuclear forces, as well as Russia’s readiness to use nuclear weapons.
Berlin also noted that it will not make changes to its operational planning in connection with the Russian nuclear exercises. Everyone is already used to such tantrums in Moscow.
