A leading Russian military reporter claims that Vladimir Putin will soon “have no way back” except to drop nuclear weapons against Ukraine.
Alexander Sladkov called for the atomic bombing to provoke a “crater the size of several regions”.
He is the latest Kremlin mouthpiece to make a chilling prediction after a state television channel simulated a 200-second survivor’s nuclear bombing of Europe, and another leading cameraman said nuclear war was “likely” and we would all “die someday.” “.
Sladkov claims that Russia’s so-called “military campaign” in Ukraine was to “liberate” it from the control of alleged “neo-Nazis.”
But he said the time could come for the “last resort”, as about 40 countries are arming Ukraine with weapons used against the Russians.
“There is more and more talk of nuclear weapons, and Russia has something to say about that,” he wrote.
“We have a solution for Ukraine.

“There are several, but they still remind us of the last resort – nuclear weapons.
“If no one hears us and 40 countries continue to help Ukrainian neo-Nazis, we will have no way back.”
Sladkov then mentioned the atomic bombing of Hiroshima during World War II, warning: “Anything is possible and this is what the Americans are teaching us.”
He suggested that Putin would soon have “no choice” but to lay down weapons capable of such destruction to stop NATO from interfering in the war.
He said: “The Americans have used nuclear weapons in Japan in a demonstrative way.

“So we, the Russians, will have to do it demonstratively in Ukraine to eliminate the problem of further confrontation with these 40 famous countries.
“A crater the size of several regions will be a clear example of how serious Russia’s call for NATO is to return to peace and harmony.
“But where will Ukraine go?
“Exactly where it is headed at the moment, with the only difference that it will be fast and cheaper for Russia.
“Europeans and Americans cannot understand that a neighboring country with such a gigantic nuclear potential should not be harassed.
When I think about it, I remember how easily the United States used nuclear weapons against Hiroshima and Nagasaki and how easily they almost stationed them in Dien Bien Phu in 1954.
Kremlin-controlled television presenters have repeatedly threatened the possibility of nuclear war, including the launch of missiles capable of wiping out the United Kingdom.

On Sunday, Dmitry Kiselyov, Putin’s key propagandist, said an attack on the United Kingdom using the Poseidon submarine drone could be a possible course of action for Russia.
He said the weapon would cause a 500-meter radioactive tsunami that would plunge Britain “into the depths of the ocean”.
Retired military officer and security analyst Tom Clonon said the “horrific” threats showed how “worried” Putin’s friends felt – but ruled out the possibility of the Russian president following him.
He told Newstalk Breakfast: “I know there will be a lot of people who will listen to this, who will be very scared of it or it may cause fear and anxiety, but the chances of that happening are extremely slim.
This is propaganda.
Putin has repeatedly used Russian nuclear deterrence forces to threaten the West in recent months.
However, experts see this largely as a signal to NATO to persuade it not to intervene in Ukraine, rather than as a sign that Putin is planning a nuclear war.
Robert Fox, defense editor at the London Evening Standard, said the West could destroy the Russian cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg in less than two minutes if Putin launches a nuclear attack.
He told LBC on Monday: “Nuclear blackmail is a very, very difficult game and I think Russian generals know that.
“Every reasonable person in Putin’s army knows this because there are no winners there.
“If he used it, God help us.” But St. Petersburg and Moscow will be destroyed in 90 seconds!
