It has become obvious that Putin will not be able to achieve his original goals. This is prompting him to commit terror: nuclear, chemical environmental terror to inflict the maximum possible damage to Ukraine, Dispatches, IFBG.Nuclear terror has become a characteristic feature accompanying the Russian Federation's war against Ukraine. Russian troops are systematically shelling and mining the territory and vicinity of the Zaporizhzhya NPP, which was captured last March.
