The British Chief of Staff, Admiral Sir Tony Redkin, today (Wednesday) expressed his opinion on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s threats of a nuclear attack, saying that these are signs of weakness and evidence of failure. “His nuclear rhetoric is completely irresponsible,” said Redkin. “No He still has many options or possibilities for action, so he uses the above-mentioned rhetoric,” he added.

“The international community should remain strong and united in the face of these signs, which are an expression of weakness and nothing else, even though the issue is worrying.”
Meanwhile, at a meeting held this week by British Defense Minister Ben Wallace with his American counterpart in Washington to discuss the security developments concerning the Russia-Ukraine war, Redkin was asked if he thought that Putin was planning to launch a nuclear attack on Ukraine, and refused to answer directly.
At the same time, the US State Department stated that it is not surprising that Putin uses “desperate” tactics, referring to the announcement of the application of military rule in the annexed regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia and Kherson. “Russia is taking these desperate measures to secure its rule in areas that have been declared annexed and belong to it.”
At the same time, the German “Bild” newspaper reported that German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier canceled his visit to the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, which was to be held tomorrow due to “security reasons”. The Russia-Ukraine war continues at all times, and in recent days the main battleground is the city of Kherson. Last night, General Sergei Sorovkin, the coordinator of Russian military operations in Ukraine, said that “the situation there is very bad”, and called on the citizens of the city to evacuate the area as soon as possible.
