A belief is emerging among many besieged Ukrainians that Russian will not deploy a nuclear weapon in a desperate bid to win the war, according to Kyiv resident Ilyas Verdiev.
Recording in a Kyiv shelter for the latest edition of the Sky News Ukraine War Diaries podcast, Mr Verdiev - who witnessed Russia’s single biggest one-day attack on the capital as well as this week's drone strikes - reveals what citizens are being told by officials in respect of nuclear escalation, and how they are rationalising the threat.“More and more talks are about using tactical weapons in order to stop the offensive operation of Ukrainian troops," Mr Verdiev explains.
"[But] actually, officials say here in Ukraine say you have to realise that Putin using a strategic nuclear weapon will bring Russia to the dead end. No one will stand aside and the Western world will step in. "This is going to be the end of Putin and his regime, it will collapse Russia from all perspectives like economical and at some point physical."The spectre of nuclear escalation and assertions by Russian President Vladimir Putin that his capacity to use them is no bluff has been both an unnerving and continued factor in the war. Particularly following recent successes by the Ukrainian military in the south and east of the country.
