In the event of an invasion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Transnistria, Russia could launch a nuclear strike on Ukraine.

Due to the extremely tense situation on the border of the unrecognized Transnistria and Ukraine, the Russian military may launch a preventive nuclear strike on the territory of Ukraine. This information is voiced by the publication "Military Affairs", referring to unnamed sources.

According to the data presented, due to the threat emerging against the Russian peacekeeping forces from Ukraine, Russia may consider the current situation as an act of aggression and attack and use its nuclear weapons. As follows from the information provided by the website "Military Affairs", the blow will allegedly be delivered to an uninhabited part in western Ukraine. At the same time, the information resource does not refer to any sources, not to mention the fact that the concept of Russia's use of nuclear weapons does not correspond to the information provided.

“Russia with a nuclear strike can prevent the invasion of the Ukrainian army in Transnistria. As experts write, in order to cool the ardor of Kyiv and NATO in an attempt to seize the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, the Russian Armed Forces may use tactical nuclear weapons. A demonstrative blow will be inflicted on an uninhabited area in western Ukraine., - reports the publication, without indicating any sources.

In the event that Ukraine starts a real aggression against Transnistria, Russia has enough non-nuclear weapons that can prevent the capture of this self-proclaimed republic, especially since the Russian side previously ruled out the use of nuclear weapons, provided that there is no threat to the country's territory.
