Petty Vladimir Putin could order nuclear strikes at strategic sites in Ukraine in response to a series of crushing defeats on the battlefield, according to a former NATO chief.
The alliance's ex-deputy secretary general hailed Ukraine's territorial gains while warning their counteroffensive in Kharkiv could lead to the despot deploying weapons of mass destruction to save face.
Speaking with the BBC, Rose Gottemoeller said she feared "they [ Russia ] will strike back now in really unpredictable ways that may even involve weapons of mass destruction."
