Putin from despair can be struck in Ukraine - American General

According to Kevin Ryan, the Russian president is likely to feel pressure to do something radical. The successes of the Ukrainian counter -offensive can become a trigger that will push the Kremlin head to press the "Red button". Against the background of destructive losses suffered by Russian troops in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin can resort to a nuclear blow. This was warned by the American brigade general in retirement Kevin Ryan. About it reports The Insider.

According to Ryan, Putin is thinking about doing something radical after the rapid counter -offensive of the Ukrainian army, which goes with increasing force. Russian troops prefer to be captured in a massive manner, instead of continuing the battle with the Ukrainian forces, which lead offensive action east of Kharkiv. Due to recent events in Ukraine, some military researchers even say that there is a turning point in the war.

At the same time, a former US serviceman warned that the successes of the Armed Forces can encourage Putin to press the "red button". "I thought that Putin probably feels pressure to do something radical," Ryan said in an interview with journalists, adding that it made him think again about triggers that can precede nuclear stroke.

Another warning of a potential nuclear blow sounded after the statement of NATO Secretary General Rose Hettemüller, who believes that the failures of Russian troops in the Kharkiv region may push Putin to a tactical nuclear stroke in the Black Sea or in the military sites of Ukraine. Thus, the Russian leadership tries to intimidate Kyiv and allies of Ukraine. Earlier, Focus reported that Russian presidential associates create aid to expand the war in Ukraine.
