German Ambassador to Ukraine Anka Feldhusen told the European Pravda media outlet that she doesn't brush off the possibility of a Russian nuclear attack on Ukraine since Russian dictator Vladimir Putin “has the weapon.” Feldhusen added that the risks of Russia using its nuclear weapons to attack Kyiv are currently “limited, but if it happens, the impact will be very high.”

President Volodymyr Zelensky, however, said earlier on Sep. 26 that Putin’s threats to use nuclear weapons “could be a reality,” adding that Putin “wants to scare the whole world” with nuclear blackmail.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.

We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.

Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?

"All of a sudden rockets got shot into a couple of cities and people died. I saw thing I was surprised at and I don't like being surprised, so I'm very disappointed in that way."
