INTERVIEW: Russian officials say three Ukrainian drones targeted Moscow over the weekend, and one of those drones struck a skyscraper in the city. Ukraine has now taken responsibility for the attack.
“Gradually, the war is returning to the territory of Russia—to its symbolic centers and military bases, and this is an inevitable, natural, and absolutely fair process,” Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
The strike is part of Ukraine's ongoing counteroffensive against Russia.
In response to the drone strike, Russia's former president and prime minister, Dmitry Medvedev, said, “Just imagine that the offensive … in tandem with NATO succeeded and ended up with part of our land being taken away. Then we would have to use nuclear weapons by virtue of the stipulations of the Russian Presidential Decree," according to a Telegram post reported by CNN.
How likely is it that Russia would use nuclear weapons against Ukraine in the coming months?
Victoria Coates, Heritage Foundation vice president of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy, says that "it's been possible from the beginning," but added that she has "never considered it a particularly likely turn of events."
Coates joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to explain how likely it is Ukraine will continue to target civilian infrastructure in Russia, what the results of such targeting might be, and what America’s involvement in the war should look like moving forward.
