Nuclear Training of the Russian Federation: The Kremlin wants to influence the decision of the event against Ukraine - ISW

According to American analysts, the enemy regularly uses "nuclear saber" to make the world make decisions that are favorable to the Kremlin. In particular, Moscow does not want the West to allow the Armed Forces to strike allies' weapons in Russia. Russia continues to use nuclear weapons as a pressure lever throughout the world. This time, the Kremlin has again timed training in major political discussions in the West.

This is stated in the report of the American Institute of War Study (ISW) of May 21. The Russian Ministry of Defense, reminiscent of analysts, said the first stage of exercises with tactical nuclear weapons on the eve of the Southern Military District. The enemy's training with Iskander and daggers, which regularly attack the Ukrainian territory, should also be trained.

One of the so -called enemy military bloggers, who received the Kremlin award, directly linked such measures of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation with attempts to influence the decision of the event. In particular, it is a discussion about whether Ukraine should be allowed to beat allies' weapons in the Russian territory.

"Russian tests of tactical nuclear weapons are part of the Kremlin's reflexive control campaign, which often uses nuclear saberness to influence Western leaders to force them to take restraint measures," ISW analysts write. It was added separately that all of the above is an element of the hybrid war waged by the Kremlin. Such tactics are needed by the enemy in order for the West to "voluntarily" decisions that are beneficial for Russia.
