News from Al-Madinah: According to the Wall Street Journal on Sunday, US authorities confirmed that US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan had recently participated in private discussions with key Russian president assistants in an effort to lessen the likelihood of a wider conflict over Ukraine.
The officials who did not name the newspaper stated that the talks were also aimed at warning Moscow against using nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction.
They also added that the aim of the conversations was “avoiding the risk of escalation and keeping the communication channels open and not discussing access to a settlement of the war in Ukraine. ”
Notably, Putin was forewarned that he would deploy nuclear weapons throughout the Russian operation seven months ago (and even before).
According to the Union of American Scholars, based on the quantity of nuclear warheads it possesses—5977 as opposed to 5428—Russia has the greatest nuclear force in the world.
The American military has roughly 200 tactical nuclear weapons, half of which are stationed in facilities in Italy, Germany, Turkey, Belgium, and the Netherlands. In comparison, the Russian military has about 2,000 tactical nuclear weapons operationally.
