Russia Warns US, Europe of Nuclear and Satellite Attacks Amid Ukraine Conflict

Tensions between Russia and the United States, alongside NATO allies, have escalated amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, with both nuclear and new space warfare threats emerging. U.S. General Christopher Donahue warned that NATO could launch a rapid ground attack to capture Kaliningrad, a strategic Russian exclave, prompting Russian lawmakers like Leonid Slutsky to respond with nuclear warnings, emphasizing retaliatory measures under Russia's nuclear doctrine. Concurrently, Russia has announced it will target European satellites supporting Ukraine's military through signal jamming, raising fears of conflict extending into space and potentially involving nuclear-capable weapons designed to disrupt satellite networks critical for military and civilian use. Russian military voices, including Captain Vasily Dandykin, have issued stark warnings about missile capabilities and ultimatums directed at Ukraine's allies, indicating a readiness for further escalation. President Donald Trump has taken a distinct approach by engaging more directly with Moscow, criticizing Ukrainian officials, and threatening sanctions and defense support measures aimed at pressuring Russia toward peace. These developments collectively underscore a multifaceted and heightened risk of broader conflict involving nuclear and space domains amid the ongoing war.
