EKO HOT BLOG reports that Vladimir Putin has made reference to the US’s nuclear strikes on Japan during World War Two in a veiled nuclear threat to Ukraine.
In his latest telephone conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron, the Russian leader claimed that America’s nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which killed hundreds of thousands of people (mostly civilians) and triggered the Japanese 1945 surrender, proved “you don’t need to attack the major cities in order to win”.
A French Government source told the Mail on Sunday that the Kremlin leader is keen to get across that “all options are on the table”.
His comments come after Moscow warned residents of the southern Kherson region of Ukraine to leave or face being deported, ahead of an expected Russian withdrawal.
Russia has repeatedly claimed Ukraine may use a dirty bomb – a conventional explosive laced with radioactive material – which has been viewed as a potential precursor to a false flag operation.
