Ukraine's top General warns of coming nuclear war

Ukraine’s top military boss has warned that a nuclear war between Russia and the West is ‘imminent’ as a result of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Gen. Valery Zaluzhny declared “There is a direct threat of the use, under certain circumstances, of tactical nuclear weapons by the Russian armed forces.” He wrote this in an op-ed published by state run outlet Ukrinform.

“It is also impossible to completely rule out the possibility of the direct involvement of the world’s leading countries in a ‘limited’ nuclear conflict, in which the prospect of World War III is already directly visible,” Zaluzhny warned. 

Summit.news reports: The top commander further issued his first official confirmation that the unprecedented large strikes on Russia’s Crimea bases and an arms depot widely reported in August were Ukrainian operations. The initial early August huge Saki air base explosion had previously only been acknowledged as a Ukrainian strike via anonymous leaks to Western media outlets by senior Kiev officials.

At around the same time as those opening Crimea attacks, which have continued sporadically since then, President Zelensky vowed to “liberate” the Russian-held territory, which the Kremlin gained control of after a 2014 popular referendum, which wasn’t recognized by Europe or the US.

According to Gen. Zaluzhny’s words as featured in The Washington Post

With the fighting all but certain to continue into 2023, Ukraine has to make the war “even sharper and more tangible for the Russians and for other occupied regions, despite the massive distance to the targets,” Zaluzhny wrote.

He called the Crimean strikes a “convincing example” of Kyiv’s calls for allies to send longer-range weapons for its outgunned soldiers. Moscow, he said, can hit 20 times farther.

Moscow for its part has also expressed alarm over the potential for nuclear-armed confrontation with the West over Ukraine, given Washington’s steadily growing involvement – especially the billions of dollars in weapons and military aid being poured into the Ukrainian side. It has also rejected charges that it is prepared to use nukes.

During a speech to the United Nations early last month, Russian diplomat Alexander Trofimov rejected “utterly unfounded, detached from reality and unacceptable speculations that Russia allegedly threatens to use nuclear weapons, particularly in Ukraine.”

Per Reuters, he stressed Russia’s official position, explaining that nuclear arms could only be used in “response to weapons of mass destruction or a conventional weapons attack that threatened the existence of the Russian state.”

  1. The usual entrapment. In ww1 when Kaiser Willhelm good friend Arch Duke Ferdinand went to Serbia on a peace mission the secret societies had him murdered. All set up by the elite. Knowing what the responses would be, knowing full well how the diplomatic roles would play out to lead to ww1.

  2. Sorry for the majority of average people in Ukraine that want peace and stability and not new fortunes and resorts for the Zelensky performer? But at this juncture a mushroom cloud over the places of power of the Nazi regime in Ukraine might be a good thing.
