Tensions Mount: Russia’s Nuclear Contemplation Amidst Global Diplomatic Maneuvering

In the present time, Russia holds a strong position, partly due to Israel-Hamas war, which redirected many of the U.S.’s resources. The U.S. is not as focused on the Ukraine war as it used to be. Around 2022, it seemed like Russia’s occupation of the Kherson region, which Russia claimed, could be reversed by Ukraine. This was a significant possibility. Additionally, the Wagner Group, an unofficial army led by Pregojan, was also causing unrest in Ukraine, aligning with Moscow. Vladimir Putin was genuinely furious, anticipating a potential anti-Semitic attack. In October 2022, Russia provided indications to the U.S., France, the UK, and several other countries about the potential use of tactical nuclear strikes in Ukraine.

Russia’s Defense Minister, Sergei Shoigu, continuously made calls, warning about the possibility of a dirty bomb attack from Kiev. Russia initiated preparations for medical aid to Ukraine in case of such an attack. Now, the question arises about what transpired in 2022 that made Russia contemplate using nuclear weapons. The period from 2022 to the beginning of 2023 was a challenging one for Russia. Even now, Russia is in a relatively isolated position. The U.S. sought help from China and India, both in the non-ally category. The U.S. urged them to communicate with Russia to prevent the use of tactical nuclear weapons. An American senior administrator acknowledged that one of the things they did was not only send messages directly but also strengthen the argument that our country, India, is not an ally of the U.S. We fall into the non-ally category, unlike official friendly countries like France or the UK. The U.S. sought help from China and India, telling them to convince Russia not to use tactical nuclear weapons.

Key Players’ Statements Avert Crisis: India’s PM Modi Crucial in Pressuring Russia

An official from the U.S. administration is accepting that one of the things we did was to emphasize to Russia that Ukraine is not a part of NATO. China and India both gave assurances, and then U.S. officials said that the public statements by Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi played a crucial role in averting the crisis. Xi Jinping did not make any specific public statements, but PM Modi’s statement was crucial, saying, ‘This is not an era of war.’ Due to this, Russia faced considerable pressure because they knew that sanctions were already in place, and if China and India confirmed that an attack was imminent, Russia, with its nuclear weapons program, would be in a tight spot. Russia had to change its plan under compulsion. The weakness of racism remains humanity’s biggest weakness. It still persists in the mentality of resistance. Even after substantial help to Ukraine, statements like these continue to come from their side. When our foreign minister visits Europe, Ukrainian reporters or pro-Ukraine reporters always ask why India purchases oil from Russia, and we have to explain the logic behind it, saying, “It’s really sad”.
