“Vladimir Putin now gives the cards.
The risk exists ".
General Vincenzo Camporini, in an interview with Corriere della Sera, does not exclude the atomic risk: "Having the nuclear weapon available can tickle the temptation to use it to change the fortunes on the battlefield, where Russia is not going well".
"It is the weapon of the end of the world", he recalls and "given that the US has announced that it would react in all ways, it could materialize the direct involvement of Western countries".
If it was not used, there would be two scenarios to go through.
The first sees a stalemate also determined by the climate, given that Rasputitza is arriving in Ukraine, a humidity that makes roads impassable and trucks go bogged down and become "an easy bite" for an assault.
The second, that the Ukrainians "break through and the Russians are forced to run away".
Should Putin offer an alternative, according to the former Chief of Staff of the Air Force and Defense "to negotiate now would be premature."
Because if the condition is annexation to the Donbass, accepting it would mean “rewarding the use of violence as a solution to international conflicts.
The answer must be no ”.
