Russia Threatens To Nuke Ukraine

The Defense Minister of Ukraine is claiming that Russia is threatened, multiple times, to use nuclear weapons if Ukrainian forces continue to resist the Russian invasion.

"The Russian side has threatened on several occasions across unofficial channels that, in the case of continued resistance they are ready to use a tactical nuclear weapon against us," Heletey wrote.

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has escalated rapidly after more than 1,000 Russian troops poured across the border last week. Fighting has picked up between both sides, and there are reports that Russian troops massacred hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers who were trying to retreat.
