"Attack on nuclear infrastructure": Political technologist Zahorodniy on Orsk radar attack and why Putin is bluffing

He expressed this opinion on Espreso TV.

"Recently, at a congressional hearing, the Republicans questioned Secretary of State Antony Blinken. During this meeting, topics emerged that were previously off-limits. Specifically, Blinken was asked why the Biden administration forbids Ukraine from using American weapons to shell Russian territory. Notably, Blinken did not mention nuclear escalation by Russia in his response. This indicates a shift in rhetoric within the United States," Zahorodniy explained.

Zahorodniy pointed out that Putin's nuclear threats are merely a bluff.

"Today, the Defense Forces attacked the radar in Orsk. This radar is part of Russia's nuclear infrastructure. By doing this, Ukraine is demonstrating to the USA that these nuclear threats are just Putin's bluff. We must keep targeting Russian territory to completely shift the USA's stance," he added.
