Analysis: A hawkish Russian analyst with President Vladimir Putin’s ear has ignited a debate over whether it's time for the Kremlin to use a nuclear weapon to end the war in Ukraine.
Nuclear deterrence has not stopped the West from trying to contain and destroy Russia by conducting a proxy war in Ukraine, he argued.
The body of a Russian soldier is shown near a destroyed Russian tank near the front line in the newly liberated village of Storozheve, in Ukraine's Donetsk region, on June 14. "There is an increasing despondency about how the war is going and an increasing need to think of how it might end without a complete catastrophe for Russia," said Patricia Lewis, director of the international security program at Chatham House, a think-tank in London.
