Fears of World War III have increased as Russia verified long-range missile strikes from Ukraine.
Days after President Joe Biden gave Ukraine permission to fire its long-range ATCMS missiles, the nation conducted a blitz and “successfully destroyed” a munitions storage, according to Knewz.com.
The tyrant who invaded Ukraine almost three years ago was quickly criticized when Vladimir Putin modified the Kremlin’s nuclear doctrine to permit retribution in the wake of the invasion.
On Tuesday, November 19, Ukraine affirmed the employment of US ATACMS missiles.
“Yes, ATACMS was used for the first time to strike the territory of the Russian Federation,” the RBC was informed by a source close to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry.
“The strike was carried out on a facility in the Bryansk region, it was successfully destroyed.”
According to Andriy Kovalenko, the Russian Defense Ministry was compelled shortly after to admit that US missiles were used to target the Bryasnk munitions station, which was allegedly holding North Korean anti-aircraft missiles and ammunition.
A portion of the damage rockets fired by the Kremlin fell on the military facility’s “technical territory” and started a fire.
Putin revised Russia’s nuclear strategy in response to the attack, saying that Ukraine’s use of American long-range missiles was an act of aggression by Western nations and that it would enable Russia to use nuclear weapons against NATO nations.
“This use of the Alliance missiles can now be qualified as an attack by the bloc countries on Russia,” stated Dmitry Medvedev, a former Russian president and Putin friend.
“In this instance, the right to use WMDs to strike back against Kyiv and the major NATO installations, wherever they may be, emerges. Furthermore, World War Three has already begun.
The revised policy, according to Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, “concerns the fact that the Russian Federation reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of aggression with the use of conventional weapons against it.”
When asked if the Kremlin believes that the employment of long-range missiles by a non-nuclear nation (Ukraine) with the assistance of a nuclear nation (the United States) may lead to a nuclear retaliation from Russia, Peskov responded, “Yes, that is what is being discussed.”
A spokesman for U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer responded to nuclear threats by denouncing Putin and Russia’s re-invigorated WWIII warning.
The spokesperson stated: “It’s reasonable to assume that this is the most recent instance of the corrupt Russian government’s carelessness.
“We remain steadfast in our support for Ukraine and the defense of an illegal invasion, and we’ve always said that the defense of the UK starts in Ukraine.”
According to the Sun, British Army Col. Hamish de Bretton-Gordon described Putin’s threats as “completely hollow” and asserted that Russia was trying to intimidate Western countries into not supporting Ukraine.
He stated: “This is the 1,000th day of this fight, and Putin and his close associates have been threatening a nuclear strike if we intensify it since day one, but it hasn’t happened.
It should give our leaders more confidence since they now need to understand that Putin’s warnings are wholly unfounded.
“With the Russian boxer on the ropes, now is the time that we enable the Ukrainians to absolutely put in the killer punch and be in a really good position for the expected ceasefire.”
