Bondarew sees rising danger of nuclear coercionThe former Russian diplomat criticizes the West’s handling of Putin’s nuclear threats and warns that nuclear weapons could spread further.
- Wolodymyr Zelenskyj recently raised the possibility of rearming Ukraine with nuclear missiles if the country did not achieve NATO membership; after the Soviet Union ended, Kyiv had surrendered its nuclear weapons.
- Vladimir Putin responded by calling the proposal a dangerous provocation and signaling an appropriate response, which Boris Bondarew assesses as nuclear brinkmanship.
- On January 3, 2022, the five permanent members of the UN Security Council reaffirmed their opposition to nuclear war, yet Russia’s war against Ukraine began on February 24, 2022.
- According to Bob Woodward’s new book, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned Sergei Shoigu in autumn 2022 against a Russian use of tactical nuclear weapons and indicated that US restraint would be reassessed.
A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.— From the five permanent members of the UN Security Council (USA, Russia, China, France, United Kingdom).
