A military expert announced the threat of a nuclear strike during the seizure of Russian ships

Russia could use tactical nuclear weapons if NATO countries continue to seize Russian ships. This condition for a strike was named by military expert Andrei Kolesnik, as quoted by Gazeta.Ru.

“Europe is bringing the world closer to nuclear escalation, to a third world war, because we, too, will not watch our ships being destroyed or captured. We will respond in a mirror way, we will capture their ships. This can happen anywhere in the world,” Kolesnik said.

According to the analyst, Russia does not seek to aggravate relations with the states of the North Atlantic Alliance, but NATO countries are deliberately escalating the situation.
