Russian Official Threatens Nuclear Strikes Against European Nations Supporting Ukraine

Sergei Karaganov, a prominent Russian foreign policy strategist, has issued threats of nuclear strikes against European countries if they continue providing military and financial support to Ukraine. The threat reflects Russia's strategy to weaken Ukraine's defence capabilities and international backing by creating nuclear coercion pressure on supporting nations.

The escalation in rhetoric underscores rising tensions around European involvement in the conflict and the risk of further military and diplomatic deterioration. By coupling the nuclear threat to Ukraine aid specifically, Russia is attempting to use strategic intimidation to discourage Western governments from sustaining Kyiv's resistance to the invasion.
