"The concept works": Vance's brother explained why Putin will not use nuclear weapons in the war with Ukraine
Although the Russian authorities occasionally rattle nuclear weapons, dictator Vladimir Putin will not resort to their use in the war against Ukraine. For Russia to carry out a nuclear strike, it would have to face an existential threat.
This was said in an interview with BBC Ukraine by American military officer Nate Vance, the cousin of U.S. Vice President J. D. Vance. He also reminded of the principle of mutually assured destruction, which holds that the use of nuclear weapons by one side in a conflict would lead to the total and inevitable destruction of both sides.
