Putin could instruct strike on NATO base in a ‘desperate’ effort to obstruct off arms to Ukraine

Former National Security Chief of Britain Lord Ricketts said Putin’s evil forces are getting “increasingly desperate to choke off the flow of arms” in the worst attacks since World War II.

And he warned about the upcoming attacks on convoys or aircraft being transported into the nation from the West could be on the way next.

He told the BBC he dreaded the horrific conflict was heading for “an angry stalemate, where Russia will hold on to quite a large part of the country” and Ukraine won’t agree on a settlement pact.

But it could turn into a “guerrilla war that would continue…a sapping, angry, difficult, open wound in the middle of Europe, and instability for years and years to come.”

On Putin’s thinly-veiled threats of chemical weapons attacks, he responded: “I suppose what President Putin wants us all to fear is that he might want to use a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, which would be a momentous escalation and ensure Russia was isolated around the world.”

“More likely, I think what they’re looking at is some way of preventing or limiting this flow of arms into Ukraine, keeping the Ukrainian Armed Forces going.

“So we may see attacks on convoys or aircraft bringing the arms in from the west.

“At worst, possibly, some kind of missile strike on a base in NATO, where the arms for Ukraine were being prepared.

“And that will certainly pose the NATO countries with a real dilemma.”

He said it was “not impossible” to see such a theatrical ramping up as “the Russians are getting increasingly desperate to try and choke off the flow of arms.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said his forces were ready to fight Mad Vlad’s men in the Donbas region, adding he would never give up the region to Moscow.

He told CNN this Friday: “This is why it is very important for us to not allow them, to stand our ground, because this battle… it can influence the course of the whole war.

“I don’t trust the Russian military and Russian leadership.”

“That is why we understand that the fact that we fought them off and they left, and they were running away from Kyiv — from the north, from Chernihiv, and from that direction — it doesn’t mean if they can capture Donbas, they won’t come further towards Kyiv.”

President Zelensky also cautioned the West to prepare for a Russian nuclear doomsday and urged the amassing of anti-radiations drugs and building shelters.

The battle-hardened leader told the US outlet that Putin may use strategic nukes if his war in Ukraine continues to stand.

“We shouldn’t wait for the moment when Russia decides to use nuclear weapons… We must prepare for that,” he said.

“All of the world, all of the countries have to be worried because it can be not real information, but it can be true,” Ukraine’s head of state said.

“Chemical weapons, they should do it, they could do it, for them the life of the people, nothing. That’s why.

“We should think not to be afraid, not be afraid but be ready. But that is not a question for Ukraine, not only for Ukraine but for all the world, I think.”
