Russians took to the streets — and to the sky — Wednesday in opposition to Vladimir Putin’s mobilization order sending reservists to fight in Ukraine as his threats of nuclear warfare intensified.
'I'm not bluffing.'
Vladimir Putin accuses the West of 'nuclear blackmail' against Russia.
The Russian President states his country has 'various weapons of destruction' and will use 'all the means available' to them.
The order — which would throw 300,000 more troops into the increasingly desperate fight — sparked a wave of protests across Russia and a run on one-way tickets out of the country.
The mobilization came alongside chilling threats to defend Russian territory with Nuclear weapons, as the Kremlin planned to call a quarter of Ukraine part of Russia.
“I want to remind you that our country also has various means of destruction,” Putin said in a Wednesday morning televised address. “When the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, to protect Russia and our people, we will certainly use all the means at our disposal.”
With an icy stare at the camera, the Russian strongman added, “It’s not a bluff.”
Putin’s threat to use nuclear weapons to defend Russia’s “territorial integrity” comes as his puppet regimes in Ukraine prepare to declare the occupied parts of that country Russian territory.
1. Lyman: A strategically important town in the northern portion of Donetsk, Lyman and its outskirts have been the site of intense fighting for over a week.
2. Lysychansk: Occupying the high ground on the west bank of the Siversky Donets River, Lysychansk was the Ukrainian army’s last holdout in the Luhansk province before it was overrun in July. Ukrainian forces are now estimated to be within 10 miles of retaking the city.
3. Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant: Europe’s largest power plant is effectively on the front line of the conflict — and in constant danger of being caught in the crossfire, according to a UN report.
4. Melitopol: The largest city in the Russian-occupied portion of the Zaporizhzhia province, Melitopol has been a hotbed of Ukrainian guerrilla activity and attacks on occupation authorities.
Four referenda are planned this week for the occupied provinces of Ukraine — Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson — to declare those provinces part of Russia.
Such a vote would make the territories an “irreversible” addition to the country, allowing Moscow to use “any means” to defend them, Dmitry Medvedev, head of the Kremlin’s Security Council, said this week.
The votes, scheduled to start Friday, have already been declared illegitimate by Ukraine and its Western allies.
Russia’s use of so-called filtration camps to relocate Ukrainians within the occupied territories — and it’s alleged use of torture, captivity and extrajudicial executions against those it suspects of supporting or aiding Kyiv — undercut the notion that any referendum held in occupied territory could reflect the will of the residents.
