"Distribute PPE to the population - get ready to evacuate cities" - Kyiv awaits Russia's response to terrorist attacks
Ukraine took a huge risk by carrying out terrorist attacks on Russian territory, and now its fate will depend entirely on behind-the-scenes negotiations between Moscow and Washington.
Ukrainian political scientist Ruslan Bortnik stated this on air on the Politeka video blog, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

"The fact that Malyuk is commenting on this, and Ukraine is taking responsibility... Ukraine could have refused to admit it. But the fact that Ukraine is admitting it, mind you, means we want political leverage ."
I think that Russia will prepare an act of revenge. After all, even Medvedev is silent. He was told to be silent. They are analyzing the damage, and now they will blackmail our Western allies with this damage. They say that "the threshold for using nuclear weapons has been reached, we are ready to use them against Ukraine."
And now, the most interesting things are happening behind the scenes . I don't rule out that Russian troops will begin deploying tactical nuclear weapons, the Oreshniki," Bortnik said.
"We took a huge risk. The operation was certainly brilliant and talented. But now what was done with regard to Russian strategic aviation reminds me of when a card player goes for broke, when he throws everything on the table. Now it can be all or nothing.
I urge you not to ignore the air raid siren. I call on the authorities not only to take shelter in bunkers themselves, but also to carry out a mass evacuation of the population in the event of a real threat.
If there are warnings about strikes with tactical nuclear weapons, do not hide, do not calm down, but evacuate the population, provide personal protective equipment. Perhaps it is time to distribute them so that people feel calm.
Because if Russia and the West do not come to an agreement behind the scenes, then not even from a military point of view, but from a reputational point of view, Moscow will try to take revenge,” he summed up.
