"The risk that Russia will use a tactical nuclear weapon is very high," said today a representative of the Ukrainian military intelligence, Vadym Skivitsky.
However, Skiwicki did not say whether the chance of using the tactical nuclear weapon became higher than the chance of not using it.
According to intelligence spokesmen, Skibitsky said in an interview with the British "Guardian" that "it is likely that the use will be made against targets along the line of contact, where there are large clusters of personnel and equipment, and against headquarters and critical infrastructure facilities."
"To stop them, we need not only anti-aircraft systems, but also anti-missile defense systems."

Yesterday it was published on CNN that according to American officials, the chance that Putin will use nuclear weapons is perhaps the highest since the start of the invasion, but is still unlikely.
The American intelligence community in particular and the Western intelligence community in general closely monitor the Russian nuclear systems to detect early signs of increased danger.
According to sources who spoke with CNN, the threat has certainly increased compared to the beginning of the year.
Senior Russian officials have not ruled out the use of nuclear weapons in recent months, and the Americans sent messages to Moscow through secret channels lest they dare to do so.
The national security adviser of the Biden administration, Jake Sullivan, recently openly said that the consequences of the use of nuclear weapons for Russia would be catastrophic.

Tomorrow morning the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky will enter an emergency discussion in the National Security Council.
"We will provide the topics on the agenda and additional details later," said spokesman Serhii Nikiforov.
The assessments in Ukraine speak of the fact that the main issue to be discussed will be the "referendums" held by Russia in the territories it occupied in Ukraine and their "annexation" to it.
