Reports indicate that Ukraine has targeted the over-the-horizon radar 29B6 “Container” located in Kovylkino, Republic of Mordovia, using UAVs.
This strike potentially breaches one of the red lines for nuclear weapon use – “disruption of retaliatory actions by nuclear forces,” as outlined in a Kremlin decree signed by Putin in 2020, according to Newsweek.
Official confirmation of the radar attack from Ukraine is yet to be provided. However, these events could signify a prelude to heightened tension in Ukraine-Russia relations.
The Kremlin’s response to this incident remains undisclosed. Considering the Kremlin’s utilization of all possible means to undermine Ukraine, the only weapon of aggression not yet employed is nuclear. However, it’s more probable they won’t dare to use it, as it could result in severe sanctions beyond the relatively lenient measures currently in place. Rapid shifts in the Russo-Ukrainian conflict could have significant repercussions worldwide.
It’s advisable to closely monitor the situation as further developments may carry substantial implications for international security and stability. Therefore, we recommend visiting our Ukrainian website regularly for updates.
