President Putin hinted at the possibility of using nuclear weapons two days ago. On the 7th, he said: “If we say we will not use nuclear weapons the first time under any circumstances, then it is impossible to use nuclear weapons a second time,” he insisted.
At the inauguration ceremony for the next commander of the US Strategic Command, which oversees US nuclear weapons, on the 9th, Secretary Austin criticized Russia, saying, “Nuclear powers have a great responsibility to refrain from provocative actions, reduce the risk of nuclear attacks proliferation and prevent the escalation and nuclear war”. In particular, he told President Putin: “Make no mistake” and “Russia is also modernizing and expanding its nuclear arsenal. The whole world is witnessing President Putin’s irresponsible display of nuclear force.”

Russia has resumed air strikes in Ukraine using Iranian suicide bombers (drones). According to the Associated Press, on the 10th Russia bombed Odessa, a port city in southern Ukraine, mobilizing Iranian self-destructive drones, such as the Shahed-136. Odessa Governor Maxim Marchenko said, “Energy infrastructure and civilian residences were attacked overnight by drones. Electricity has been cut in almost all areas of the region”.

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) has diagnosed that the reappearance of Iranian drones means that Russia has replenished its inventory of Iranian drones. On the same day, the US administration fined three Russian agencies, including the Russian Aerospace Force, for using Iranian drones.
