‘They’ll Ridicule Us’: Ukraine Defense Minister ‘Claims’ Russia Used Nukes -- RT
A reported claim by Ukraine’s Defense minister that Russia used tactical nuclear weapons against his troops sparked sarcastic comments from Moscow and criticism from the rival Ukrainian Interior Ministry.
The allegations, by Col. Gen. Valery Geletey, were first reported by Roman Bochkala, one of the Ukrainian journalists accompanying the minister in his recent trip to Poland.
“So Russia did use tactical nuclear weapons against Ukrainian troops,” the journalist wrote on his Facebook page, citing Geletey’s words.

My Comment: Ukraine’s Defense Minister is denying that he made such a claim .... stating instead that a reporter had misinterpreted his remarks. But this is a news story that is making the rounds in both Russia and Ukraine .... and it is stirring a lot of comment. What's my take .... I doubt that Col. Gen. Valery Geletey made such a claim because he knows that if a 3-Kiloton tactical nuclear device was used .... trust me on this .... minutes after such an explosion .... the entire world would be learning about it on almost every news network and social media forum.
