Vladimir Putin has been threatening nuclear weapons since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. However, his threats have no real basis. And all new and new statements about the crossing of red lines are nothing more than a bluff.

This belief was expressed by retired British Army colonel Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, commenting on the issue of real threats from the Kremlin dictator. Because the escalation to the level of using nuclear weapons will mean the end for Putin himself, Channel 24 informs.

Putin is a big egotist, and he likes to put himself in the same line as famous leaders like Alexander the Great or Frederick the Great. But this is clearly not the case. And he doesn't really want to risk it all,
said de Bretton-Gordon.

According to the retired colonel, today Russia has practically exhausted its own resources and relies mainly on its allies. First of all, to China. Therefore, Western partners and NATO must provide Ukraine with everything necessary to prevent further escalation and defeat Russia.
