The British newspaper "The Sun" has made a strong report on what is happening in Ukraine. According to her, Vladimir Putin tried to detonate a nuclear missile. And this may have been "sabotaged" by his senior leaders themselves.
The desperate tyrant, 70, is afraid of NATO and "his finger is getting closer to the trigger", ready to launch a nuclear show of force. According to The Sun, growing concerns prompted British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace to cancel his plans and travel to Washington on the matter.
Analysts feared Putin would detonate a nuclear-tipped missile in the Black Sea, potentially triggering a tsunami and a cloud of poisonous gas. It is also alleged that plans were underway to test a tactical nuclear weapon in the Arctic.
According to the same sources, a number of Notam messages (short warnings for aircraft) and Russian navigational warnings have been seen in recent days indicating live fire exercises in the Barents Sea near the border with Norway.
It is the same area where the giant Russian submarine armed with nuclear torpedoes was spotted a few days ago. The warnings last until Saturday. However, so far there has been little indication of major military testing in the area.
According to the same reports, Putin ordered two nuclear tests earlier this month, which did not actually take place. Internal sources claim that the launch of the missiles was blocked by a "technical failure" or by a reluctance of the military chiefs.
"This could be a sign that Putin's authority is waning," says Varlery Solovey, a former professor at Moscow's prestigious Institute of International Relations, a training school for spies and diplomats.
"Putin's decision to use tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine will undoubtedly be met with resistance. I don't know how effective the resistance will be. The nuclear tests were supposed to take place over the past two weeks. One in the Barents Sea underwater and the other underground, in the Arkhangelsk region.
In both times the tests were not held. The reason is that before launching, or rather, before using tactical nuclear weapons, it is necessary to ensure that these weapons are fully operational. They had to be tested," says Solovey.
He has been an expert near the Russian president and his inner circle. He claims Putin made the decision in principle to use nuclear weapons. But both of the last tests Putin ordered were "interrupted", he claimed.
"The president received reports that there was an emergency situation and that it had not worked. The thing is, once is an accident, twice is a coincidence. If the third tests also end in the same way, it looks like sabotage... not fulfilling the commander-in-chief's orders," he said.
