Concerns that Putin will use weapons of mass destruction are reasonable, but they are more likely to be chemical than nuclear.

Russian President Vladimir Putin will not use nuclear weapons against Ukraine, but he may use chemicals. This was written by the former commander-in-chief of NATO forces in Europe, James Stavridis, in a column for Bloomberg.

He believes that Putin “is afraid of an uncontrolled escalation and he has other ways to scare” Ukraine and the West. Stavridis believes that the possibility of Russia using nuclear weapons is “extremely small” because Putin fears losing the support of China, India, Africa and Latin America.

The general also said that the Russian dictator “loves his life and loves his country,” and that the use of nuclear weapons could lead to a retaliatory strike from Western countries. He noted that Kyiv, Lvov or Odessa could be potential targets for a tactical nuclear strike by the Russian Federation, but Putin, in his opinion, “calculated the risks of a tactical strike more than the benefits. “

“At the end of the day, it’s more likely that if Putin wants to do something that really strikes fear into the hearts of Ukrainians, he’ll choose chemical weapons, perhaps aiming them at one of the three targets in the city . He has shown indifference. to Syria’s use of chemical weapons by his ally Bashar al-Assad,” Stavridis said.

In his opinion, it will be more difficult for the West to attribute the use of chemical weapons to Putin, because he has already laid a base of disinformation by spreading fakes about “US-Ukrainian biological laboratories.”

Earlier it was reported that Russia “announced” a chemical attack in the Odessa region.
