Dr. Bahram Ghiassee, who is a nuclear scientist, said Russian President Vladimir Putin could view deploying tactical nuclear weapons as a “justified” escalation of the Ukraine war if the Russian ruler feels like his forces are facing defeat. This claim comes as the United States, once again, vows to send more military aid to Ukraine as the constant supply of weapons never ceases.

Dr. Ghiassee, an Associate Fellow at the Henry Jackson Society think tank, said the United Kingdom and NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) could view this as a radiological attack on member states and force them to declare war on Russia under Article 5 of the military alliance’s treaty, according to a report by the Daily Mail.
