Reuters: Chechen leader Kadyrov says Russia should use low-yield nuclear weapon after new defeat in Ukraine
...Kadyrov slammed top commanders for their failings and wrote on Telegram: “In my personal opinion, more drastic measures should be taken, right up to the declaration of martial law in the border areas and the use of low-yield nuclear weapons”.
So if Kadyrov is promoting the use of low yield nuclear weapons due to Russia losing ground in conventional warfare, perhaps the west should offer to equip Ukraine forces with a similar low yield capability, only for use after a first strike from Russia and only against true and verified Russian military targets on the Russian side of the border. I agree this would look like nuclear escalation but cluld also me seen as a minor MAD policy.
