(ANSA) - WASHINGTON, June 29 - With the prolongation of the war in Ukraine, it is possible that Russia will use nuclear weapons.
This was said by the number one of US intelligence, Avril Haines, speaking at a conference of the Department of Commerce.
For American intelligence after four months of conflict, Moscow will take years to rebuild its forces.
And "in this lapse of time it is possible that Vladimir Putin's forces are relying on other means such as cyberattacks, energy bombings or nuclear weapons to try to manage and project power and influence globally," explained the intelligence number one.
