As the war in Ukraine continues, it is possible that Russia will use nuclear weapons. The analysis is by US intelligence number one, Avril Haines, who spoke at a conference of the Department of Commerce last night.
For American intelligence after four months of conflict, Moscow will take years to rebuild its forces. And “in this time frame it is possible that Vladimir Putin’s forces rely on other means such as cyberattacks, energy blackmail or nuclear weapons to try to manage and project power and influence on a global level “, explained the intelligence number one.
Haines said US intelligence agencies see at this point in the conflict three possible scenarios: the most likely is the one in which the conflict continues and the Russian forces continue to make small progress without breaking through. The second is that Moscow’s forces are able to prevail, the third is that Ukraine stabilizes the front lines with small gains. Putin’s priority now, the number one of American intelligence explained, is “to progress in the Donbass and defeat the Ukrainian forces, an operation that according to Moscow will lead to the collapse of internal resistance”.
