Russia continues the sensible approach as it calls on all nations to abstain from using nuclear weapons. Russian troops continue to repel attacks on Russian territory and to make advances against the “Ukraine” army which is composed of foreign mercenaries.

NATO is failing and the concern is that rather than admit defeat the US/NATO will resort to a nuclear attack. Russia would be compelled to respond as Russia said they would, using nuclear weapons only in response rather than as a first strike.
