A prominent politician who was in charge of the Russian Space Agency has said Vladimir Putin now has “no option” but to use tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
Dmitry Rogozin - also a former deputy prime minister who is now close to the frontline - made clear Moscow is facing war defeat unless the dictator unleashes his atomic weapons.
Until last year, he was in charge of testing Putin’s giant Satan-2 hypersonic nuclear-cable missile, known in Russia as Sarmat, and Moscow’s array of space satellites.
