Russian expatriates were alarmingly cautioned by Kremlin to withdraw from areas in close proximity to several prospective European nuclear attack sites.
As the conflict between Vladimir Putin's Russia and Ukraine persists with an alarming escalation, a confidant of the 70-year-old Russian premier hinted at a potential necessity for nuclear assaults against Europe. The associate urged that the Russian diaspora should be forewarned of such drastic measures.
Sergey Karaganov, the presiding figure of the Council of Foreign and Defense Policy, has expressed that the Kremlin might consent to nuclear attacks as a strategy to dissuade nations from extending aid to Ukraine.
Nuclear apprehensions have recently surged following the provision of arms to Ukraine by the United Kingdom and the United States to counter Putin's invasive forces. Allegedly, Putin is offering nuclear armaments to countries willing to support Moscow in the war.
Karaganov described this as a "morally terrible choice," quoting the Daily Star, and expressed that the use of such "weapons of God" might result in severe spiritual loss. "But if this is not done, not only Russia may perish, but, most likely, the entire human civilization will end."
The council chair also took a swipe at US President Joe Biden, characterizing him as the "madman in the White House." He proposed that Biden would have no option but to respond to attacks on Europe by risking American cities such as Boston.
As previously reported by RadarOnline.com, nuclear tensions in Europe have intensified due to Putin's decision to transfer a range of nuclear weapons from Russia to Belarus.
The Belarusian President, Alexander Lukashenko, further escalated these tensions by asserting his readiness to initiate a nuclear war, possibly leading to a global conflict.
Lukashenko stated earlier in the week, "God forbid, I will have to make a decision on the use of these weapons in modern times. But there will be no hesitation, if only there is aggression against us."
In response to Putin's decision to relocate nuclear warheads to Belarus and Lukashenko's alarming statements, the United States has labeled their actions as "irresponsible."
Matthew Miller, a U.S. State Department spokesperson, described it as "the latest example of irresponsible behavior that we have seen from Russia since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine over a year ago."
Miller added, "We have seen no reason to adjust our strategic nuclear posture or any indications that Russia is preparing to use a nuclear weapon."
