Vladimir Putin has reportedly twice attempted to test a nuclear weapon so it could be used against Ukraine. And his attempts may only have failed because they were sabotaged, an insider has claimed.
According to an article published online by The Mirror, some top officials at the Kremlin have been “sabotaging” his plans to use atomic weapons. Another line from Moscow is that there have been issues due to technical failures, it is claimed.
Valery Solovey, an expert on the president and former professor at Moscow’s prestigious Institute of International Relations - a training school for spies and diplomats - claims that tactical nuclear weapons must be tested before they are used, to make sure these weapons are fully operable.
