There are five people who must follow orders before launching nuclear warheads.
< p> Bellingcat project investigator Hristo Grozev spoke about the potential use of nuclear weapons by Russia due to military failures in Ukraine. The expert noted that even if the head of the Kremlin decides to press the «red button» — his order may not be carried out, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to RBC-Ukraine.
The investigative journalist noted that the Russian Federation is considering the possibility of using nuclear weapons, and in this context it is logical to find now Russian military-political leadership in protected bunkers.
Grozev with reference to «people from the Russian special services» said that Vladimir Putin could order the use of nuclear weapons in the event of the prospect of a complete failure of the capture of Kyiv. But he is afraid that the order will simply not be carried out.
«This red button exists, but there are five people who must complete all these instructions in a chain before the missile with a nuclear reserve takes off. Our sources are confident that there will be at least a few of these five who will not comply with this order. He understands that such a risk exists, so he is unlikely to give this order», — said the expert.
