Nuclear weapons are a limit that Putin will not cross - Viola von Cramon

She expressed her opinion on Espreso TV. 

“Indeed, the potential consequences for Putin and Russia will be serious and significant, and will destroy not only him, but also many of his allies in Russia. I think the Chinese president has also told Putin that. I think there is a certain red line, and this red line is definitely the use of nuclear weapons, tactical nuclear bombs against Ukraine,” Viola von Cramon said. 

The member of the European Parliament is convinced that the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin will not use nuclear weapons, and he needs them as a tool to intimidate the world.

“I am almost sure that this is a line that he will not cross, but of course he is playing with it now, clutching at straws. But I very much doubt that he will use nuclear weapons against Ukraine or against any other state,” she added.

• There are no signs that Putin has decided to use tactical nuclear weapons in a war with Ukraine.

• The scenarios of a nuclear attack on Germany were discussed in the Russian Federation a few weeks before the Russian attack on Ukraine.
