Ukraina, Russland | Russlands kjernevåpen: – Noen må stoppe Vladimir Putin

01/06/2024

Fabian Hoffmann, a researcher at the Oslo Nuclear Project, believes that if Putin thinks using nuclear weapons will serve his purpose, he will consider it seriously.
Western support for Ukraine has been hindered by fear of Russian nuclear weapons, but has gradually increased over the past two and a half years.
Hoffmann believes Russia has not used nuclear weapons in Ukraine because it would have huge consequences for both Ukraine and Russia.
If Russia uses nuclear weapons, NATO may respond with a massive missile attack on Russian forces in Ukraine.
Hoffmann emphasizes the importance of monitoring Russia’s nuclear weapons program for any signs of preparation for an attack.
He warns against provoking Russia too much to avoid a full-scale nuclear war.
Putin ultimately decides on Russia’s nuclear weapons use, and Hoffmann believes it is crucial for the West to make it clear that a nuclear war would not benefit Putin or his circle.
Hoffmann considers the chance of Russia using nuclear weapons to be extremely low in the current situation.
