The head of the Russian Federation shot himself in the foot in a crazy move.
Military expert David Sharp believes that it was crazy for the Russian dictator to strike the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
The topic of nuclear weapons is quite sensitive, so the Kremlin has long been warned against using them, David Sharp recalled.
And suddenly, on the eve of peace talks, when Russia should have behaved as beautifully as possible, Putin gave the order to strike a nuclear facility in Ukraine.
There is no logic in this action, and one thing can be said for sure, that this will definitely not improve Russia's reputation in the eyes of the West, but will only worsen it.
David Sharp spoke about this on the air of the Odesa.LIVE.
The military expert outlined his thoughts on the topic of the Russian drone strike on the Chornobyl nuclear power plant: "In this case, a deliberate attack on the fourth power unit is something crazy. Why crazy? It's not even that it really posed a serious danger. But playing with nuclear safety, and intentionally, and we are talking about such a symbolic and specific facility as the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, then this kind of footage and this kind of incident suggests that Putin is ruining Russia's reputation, and makes many wonder if he is in his right mind, so it is hard for me to imagine that they want to intimidate Ukraine or the West with such actions. It is irritating, it is surprising, but it ruins the reputation." "Russia, as they say, "shot itself in the foot", in my opinion, from an international point of view. They did it intentionally, and this is very strange, especially now, because even before they avoided such actions, that is, I do not think that this is a signal of some kind of unwillingness to negotiate or a desire. How they will negotiate, time will tell. Trump has tools to put pressure on Russia, and a lot depends on him," David Sharp explained.
