I bet Ukraine had help from MI6 or CIA or who knows. But, in the end, this will only make things worse for Ukraine. What if Russia get so angry that Putin blows up the whole of Eastern Ukraine with Nukes or Vacuum Bombs? Would the US launch a nuke strike and risk total Nuke war—and the end of everything—I think Not.
“What if Russia get so angry that Putin blows up the whole of Eastern Ukraine with Nukes or Vacuum Bombs?”
Oh no, the Boy Who Cried Nuke might Cry Nuke again. Totally not a sign of desperation because they can’t win a conventional war against a tiny country that posed no threat to them.
