Vladimir Putin’s close ally and media figure, Konstantin Malofeev, has warned of a potential nuclear attack on Ukraine. This statement comes in response to Ukraine’s development of new ballistic missiles capable of targeting key locations in Moscow in the near future.
In a recent commentary on the Tsargrad channel, Malofeev urged Putin to consider a nuclear strike as the decisive action to end the conflict with Ukraine. He emphasized the need to act swiftly, stating that a nuclear strike would be the ultimate solution.
Malofeev suggested that Russia would provide a 72-hour warning before launching a nuclear strike on western Ukraine, causing widespread destruction and chaos. He predicted that such an attack would lead to the swift conclusion of the war within a month.
The concerns over Ukraine’s new FP-9 ballistic missile, with a range capable of reaching Moscow, have raised alarms within the Russian government. Denys Shtilerman, the missile’s designer, highlighted potential targets, including the FSB headquarters in Lubyanka, which could be at risk.
There are fears that the upcoming Victory Day parade in Moscow may be impacted by the threat posed by the new Ukrainian missiles. Despite these concerns, the Kremlin has stated its intention to proceed with the event as planned.
Malofeev drew parallels between a potential nuclear strike on Ukraine and past historical events like the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He argued that tactical nuclear weapons could effectively end the conflict and save lives.
The rhetoric from Russian state media and figures like Malofeev continues to escalate, with calls for decisive action using nuclear weapons to achieve their objectives in the conflict with Ukraine. The situation remains tense as both sides weigh their options in the ongoing crisis.
