Ukraine proves that Russia's "nuclear shield" is empty words

He shared his opinions with Espreso TV.

"Everyone is discussing an important topic of nuclear weapons and their use, "the power Russia has to strike back". All this rhetoric is caused by the attacks on Russian Engels and Dyagilevo military airfields. Engels more so, because 3 Tu-95 strategic bombers, part of the "nuclear triad", "Russia's shield", were damaged at its grounds. And now we see Ukraine can launch strikes even 700 km deep into Russia’s territory. So much damage caused by some Ukraine using some drones! What will be left of this so-called “nuclear shield”, once the Tomahawk missiles and other means, supplied by the West, arrive in Ukraine!?", Feygin explained.

The politician noted that Putin has to somehow respond to such failures of Russia's nuclear doctrine.

"It seems that it is all a fake, a deception. There are no air defense means, no early warning systems, nothing like that. Perhaps all this has been redeployed to the theater of operations, since they believe there is no danger in the deep rear, and therefore nothing is being done for defense. Putin had to respond to this mockery from Kyiv and from the Western media, to counter it somehow, so he continued his nuclear rhetoric, threatening to retaliate. Suddenly he now claims, although he has previously said similar things, that the war’s objective has always been to gain new territories. No one has doubted this, it is not new information, but now it has become “a revelation no one expected”,” he added.
