Desperate Putin could use ultimate invisible weapon against Ukraine
Vladimir Putin is reportedly considering the use of chemical weapons to regain full control of Russia’s Kursk region, which remains partially held by Ukrainian forces.
Despite multiple offensives in the area, the Russian army, supported by North Korean troops, has failed to make significant progress. A former NATO commander has now warned that the Russian leader may resort to chemical weapons to overwhelm Ukrainian forces.
Hamish de Bretton-Gordon said: "Putin is absolutely rattled. He could have lost up to 700,000 soldiers already. Now, with Ukraine hitting back using US ATACMS and British Storm Shadow missiles, he knows his forces in Kursk are sitting ducks."
This statement comes as Russia launched its first intercontinental ballistic missile at Ukraine.
During a televised appearance, Vladimir Putin argued that he had "the right" to target Western nations supplying military aid to Ukraine, specifically mentioning the United States and the United Kingdom. These countries recently authorized Ukraine to use their long-range missiles to strike targets on Russian soil.
According to U.S. and British sources, Moscow is believed to have ordered the launch of a medium-range intercontinental ballistic missile with a range of approximately 5,500 kilometers—enough to strike European nations.
