During the first year of the Ukrainian conflict, the country’s authorities studied weather maps and prepared for cases of radiation contamination.
The UK admitted that it was seriously preparing for a nuclear war in Ukraine. This was during the time when Liz Truss was Prime Minister of the country. How writes Daily Mail, the fact of “panic” due to a possible apocalypse is recorded in the updated biography of Truss.
The book, called “Suddenly,” states that Liz Truss was preparing for the worst-case scenarios for the development of the situation in Ukraine. In particular, she was confident that nuclear weapons would be used there, and Great Britain needed to prepare for the consequences.
Former Prime Minister Liz Truss reportedly spent her final days in office studying weather maps and preparing for radiation cases in the UK after US spies raised concerns that Putin was close to pushing the button. , writes the tabloid.

In particular, Truss feared that “given the wrong wind” Britain would become infected.
The “rustle” was caused by American intelligence, which allegedly found out that the probability of using nuclear weapons in Ukraine or more powerful weapons over the Black Sea is 50 percent.
Liz Truss was Prime Minister of Great Britain from 6 September to 25 October 2022. Her 50-day premiership was the shortest in the country’s history. Truss herself eventually admitted that she “could not cope with the responsibilities entrusted to her.”
During her premiership Truss was called a “political corpse” and “a disgrace to Britain.” She was criticized because of a strange plan to support the country’s economy, after the announcement of which the pound’s exchange rate collapsed. The plan included a massive tax cut that would cut the country’s budget by about $45 billion.

“Britain has never known such a shame (the word has been crossed out – editor’s note),” said the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova. “I will remember the helmet on the tank, the catastrophic illiteracy and the queen’s funeral immediately after the audience with Liz Truss.”
The British were so concerned about a potential nuclear attack that they even described its consequences in detail. Another British tabloid The Mirror calculatedthat even one nuclear missile aimed at London could kill an estimated 2.2 million people.
“If the Tsar Bomba, the most powerful nuclear weapon ever created, were dropped on Birmingham, it would destroy an area of 6 square kilometers. An estimated 2.4 million people would have died in such an explosion, with people in Leicester, Nottingham and Stoke-on-Trent suffering third-degree burns.

The publication adds that if the bomb had exploded over London, it could have killed 5.7 million people and injured 3.4 million.
Let us note that in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, only one side threatened the world with nuclear weapons. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said that NATO “should preemptively strike Russia with nuclear weapons so that Moscow does not use them first. Later Zelensky begged for nuclear weapons from the alliance, as well as threatened to create nuclear weapons to strike the Russian Federation in a few weeks. Also in Kyiv They did not hide that they were planning to create a “dirty bomb” from nuclear power plant waste.
By the way, at the moment the United States remains the only country that has struck peaceful cities with nuclear weapons. To Hiroshima and Nagasaki two atomic bombs were dropped. The Baby and Fat Man bombs are many times smaller than modern nuclear weapons, but their explosion killed between 150 and 246 thousand people.
Previously scientists have calculated what a nuclear war between the United States and Russia would lead to.
