WASHINGTON: Russian setbacks in the invasion to Ukraine can cause President Vladimir Putin to use tactical nuclear weapons or low results, Director of CIA William Burns said Thursday.
“Given the potential despair of President Putin and Russian leadership, given the setback they face so far, militarily, no one can take a light threat to the potential resort for tactical nuclear weapons or low nuclear weapons,” Burns said during Speech in Atlanta.

The Kremlin said it placed Russian nuclear forces with a high warning shortly after the attack began on February 24, but the United States has not seen “much practical evidence” of the actual spread that will cause more concern, burn, talk to students in Georgia University of Technology.

“We are clearly very concerned. I know President Biden is very worried about avoiding Third World War, about avoiding the threshold where you know, nuclear conflict becomes possible,” Burns said.

Russia has many tactical nuclear weapons, which is less powerful than the bomb released by the United States in Hiroshima during World War II.

Russian military doctrine displays the principle called increasing to de-eskalat, which will involve the launch of the nuclear weapons first strike from low results to regain initiatives if everything goes badly in conventional conflicts with the West.

But below this hypothesis, “NATO will intervene militarily on the ground in Ukraine on the course of this conflict, and it is not something, because President Biden has made it very clear, it is on the card.”

Given that he once served as US Ambassador to Russia, Burns had very loud words for Putin, called him “the Payback” who had been established with a combination of complaints and flammable vulnerability. “

“Every day, Putin shows that decreased strength can at least disturb the increase,” Burns said.
