Putin may be forced to use NUKES as Russia’s army has been crushed in Ukraine, says US spy chief in chilling warning
Speaking at the end of last year Haines said Putin would use a nuclear weapon if he saw an existential threat to Russia or his regime stemming from the war in Ukraine.
“We do think that could be the case in the event that he perceives that he is losing the war in Ukraine,” she said. “And that NATO in effect is either intervening or about to intervene in that context, which would obviously contribute to a perception that he is about to lose the war in Ukraine.”Ukraine estimates some 30,000 Russians have died in the "meat grinder" - with battle raging for the past nine months.
Its military is now hanging on to positions and inflicting as many casualties as possible on enemy forces in a desperate attempt to grind down their fighting capability.
