Mordovia's blow: Ukraine could cross Putin's "red lines" - media

According to special services, in Kovylikin, which was attacked by Ukrainian drones on April 17, there is a firearms of 29B6 "Container" - a very important component of a network of Russian intelligence. It is used by the Russians to prevent air-space attacks, including ballistic missiles. On Wednesday, January 17, Ukraine may have crossed the nuclear red line of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, re -attacking the radar station (radar) in Mordovia. Newsweek writes about it on April 17.

About the threat of nuclear escalation in any format-the use of nuclear weapons, a catastrophe at one of the numerous civilian nuclear power plants-Russian aggressors spoke from the very beginning of a full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine. However, according to the US edition, there are red lines in this rhetoric of the occupiers, which may indicate the potential use of nuclear weapons by Moscow according to the Kremlin's doctrinal decrees.

According to experts, it is a repeated attack of Ukrainian drones on Wednesday, April 17, the purpose of which was a separate radio technical center of the military unit 84680, located in the city of Kovilkino of the Republic of Mordovia. It is here, according to the intelligence services, that the fireplace of 29B6 "container" is located - a very important component of the network of Russian intelligence. It is used by the Russians to prevent air-space attacks, including ballistic missiles.

At the time of publication of news about the results of the attack, it is still unknown, but in the reports of some Ukrainian media, which refer to insider sources, the building of the command point of this military unit was damaged during the previous attack, April 11. Newsweek contacted the Ministry of Defense of Russia and asked them to comment on the situation. There was no answer yet.

If you judge the content of the documents that determine the criteria for the use of nuclear weapons, the damage to the radar "container" could correspond to the opportunity by the Russian Federation, which is provided by Putin's decree in 2020. Other conditions, Russian doctrines recognize "the impact of the enemy on critically important state and military objects of the Russian Federation", and with the use of ordinary weapons, but if the existence of the state is at risk.

That is, if these objects fail, it can lead to the appropriate actions of nuclear forces. Putin and his entourage were repeatedly clasped with nuclear weapons before the West, warning of the non -interference of Ukraine's allies in conflict. At the same time, the greatest fears of Kiev supporters caused the use of Russian tactical nuclear warheads - weapons of local use of much less power.

Putin emphasized the attention of NATO and his partners on the fact that Russia has a weapon, "capable of striking targets in their territory. " "All this is truly threatened with conflict with the use of nuclear weapons and the destruction of civilization. Do they not understand that?" - asked the dictator a rhetorical question. We will remind, focus on April 11 wrote that Ukrainian drones had an attack on the radar of the agitated detection in Kovylikin.
