Ukraine’s top military general warned that Russia could use nuclear weapons if it becomes desperate and said a “limited nuclear conflict” cannot be ruled out.

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Gen. Valery Zaluzhny said that “there is a direct threat of the use, under certain circumstances, of tactical nuclear weapons by the Russian armed forces,” according to an opinion article that was published in state-run Ukrinform.
