The 46th day of the war in Ukraine and the Russian invasion seems much more difficult than at the beginning, when many spoke of an "express war".
In fact, more than a few analysts claim that the more Vladimir Putin does not achieve his goal, the more he will... think about using nuclear weapons, since as the war progresses his country will slowly run out of resources.
Of course, it is only the possibility of a nuclear war that has set off the global alarm.
The photo that raised the alarm
In fact, the alarm was also raised yesterday, Friday, when a photo of Putin from a funeral in a Moscow cathedral was circulated on the Internet, but in which he was carrying a suitcase with nuclear weapons.
The Russian president appeared at the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour to pay tribute to, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who is said to have died of COVID-19.
Putin entered carrying red roses, but what caught everyone's attention was the apparent "secret nuclear briefcase" in the hands of a man wearing a suit and walking right behind the Russian leader, always according to a Sun report.
Like the so-called "briefcase" carried by presidential military aides in the US, the Russian briefcase is believed to contain launch data for the Kremlin's nuclear missiles.[/B]
This image published by The Sun shows an open briefcase, first revealed to the public in 2019 by Zvezda, a TV channel run by Russia's Defense Ministry.
Local media[/B] report that there are actually three such briefcases, each of which is accessible by the most senior officials of the Russian Federation, according to the publication.
That image on Friday comes weeks after Putin put his country's nuclear weapons on high alert following the start of the invasion of Ukraine on February 24.
