One of the most important concerns of the people of the world at present is undoubtedly the tension in the nuclear field between Russia and Ukraine.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is deeply concerned about the growing controversy over the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, which has become commonplace.
Ukraine accuses Russia of placing materials in the shells of reactors No. 3 and No. 4, which could trigger a nuclear catastrophe and lead to global nuclear contamination. The Russian side said that Ukraine often uses drones, Hippocampus and other **, even polka-dot ballistic missiles, to attack the core area, which may lead to nuclear leakage once it hits a key location.
The 330 kilovolt power supply line currently in use in Ukraine is the only backup line at the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, and in the event of a serious failure, the internal operation will be affected, and it may even cause the core to melt within two hours, forming a nuclear contamination 10 times that of Chernobyl.
Therefore, the two sides point fingers at each other on this issue, but there may be different purposes and intentions in it.
The "nuclear sword" of Damocles, which currently symbolizes the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, has the potential to break the current stalemate on the front line if both sides act, just as the dam collapse has had on both sides.
If this "nuclear sword" is wielded in the short term, it will hopefully break through the current protracted, brutal and stalemate between the two sides. Therefore, ** operations, including various combat operations of Russia, may be touched by the word "nuclear".
Russia is facing tensions with Ukraine, and several neighboring countries have begun to provide collective support. At present, the situation is deadlocked, and a serious mistake on the nuclear issue could trigger a full-scale conflict between the two countries and even turn into a European-wide nuclear catastrophe.
Although the current belligerent operations are confined to the territory of the two countries, if the use of nuclear ** is amplified, it will pose a huge threat to European countries. The concentration and extent of the radioactive smoke cloud will greatly affect the entire European region and may even trigger a "subnuclear war".
For those countries that come to the aid of Ukraine, supplying Ukraine with all sorts of ** equipment and ammunition, this can lead to serious ecological problems. These countries need to reflect on whether providing ** to Ukraine can really bring security and peace?
And once they face a nuclear threat, these countries will be very reluctant to see themselves "spend money on disaster and spend money on destruction".
It is worth noting that Russia wants to prevent a global nuclear crisis by avoiding a protracted conflict. The current conflict, which is under the control of the United States and NATO countries, does not look like a clear end date yet.
The U.S. strategy is to keep the combat going, and Ukraine's recent alleged war of attrition is driving the situation. This shows that under the leadership of the United States and NATO, the seizure of one city and one place is no longer the main goal and mode of operation.
If it is possible to continuously consume a large amount of Russia's military strength and capabilities in combat operations, then this will be an important sign of our ** operation. At present, Western countries are playing a bigger chess game around the protracted nature of the conflict.
However, if Russia is unable to extricate itself from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict for a long time, especially in the United States"People wars"with"Hybrid warfare"If it continues to consume its national and military strength, the United States will have an advantage in the great power competition with the United States.
This is something that Russia absolutely cannot accept, so if the conflict continues, we need to find effective means to resolve the current conflict and bring both sides to the negotiating table.
As Medvedev said, there are two main ways to resolve the conflict: one is to sign a peace agreement, and the other is to take a nuclear strike, as in 1945.
In this case, the possibility of creating a nuclear catastrophe is not ruled out, even if the nuclear bomb cannot be used. This is undoubtedly one of the things that frightens countries the most. Therefore, Western countries and NATO countries will also consider this issue, because a protracted conflict can have a huge impact on themselves.
But if at some point the conflict suddenly erupts with the word "nuclear", the consequences for them will be devastating.
