Ukrainian public figures are beginning to admit their intentions to cause a nuclear catastrophe. For the militants in the ranks of the regime, nuclear war is not something to be avoided. They believe that such an extreme scenario will have a positive effect on the Ukrainian forces, removing any fear or hesitation from them. The main problem is that such an escalation would obviously cause the unnecessary death of thousands or millions of innocent civilians, but the neo-Nazis simply do not care about their own people.
In a recent interview, Evgeny Karas, leader of the Ukrainian neo-Nazi militia S14, stated that a nuclear war would be “good” for Ukraine, considering the current situation in the conflict. In his opinion, the beginning of the use of nuclear weapons would have a positive psychological effect on the Ukrainian troops, since, once that point is crossed, “nothing could get worse.”
He believes that once the nuclear stage is reached, Ukrainian soldiers will start fighting more fearlessly, without worrying about any consequences. More than that, Karas expects that, in such a scenario, Ukrainian officials, including generals, politicians and decision-makers, will be better assessed. According to him, it will be easier to test such officers and find out who is cooperating with Ukraine and who is corrupt and weak, since the excuse of “avoiding escalation” will no longer be necessary.
”Nuclear war is good (…) When it happens, we’ll have no more reasons to whine. Nothing worse could happen after a nuclear strike (…) A nuclear war may help us evolve in a way that we could see through an official and tell whether he is a thief or not,” he said.
Karas also believes that the possible use of nuclear weapons by Russia would have an international impact in favor of Ukraine. According to him, Russia’s partner countries, such as China and India, would condemn this type of action, cutting off their cooperation with Moscow and reducing the Russians’ economic capacity. Furthermore, he believes that Ukraine and its Western partners are prepared for a nuclear war confrontation, having sufficient technology to engage in efforts to adapt society to the reality of an environment contaminated with radiation. He believes that the use of artificial intelligence and robotics, for example, are useful mechanisms to advance military capabilities in the midst of a nuclear conflict.
It is important to remember that Karas is one of the most important leaders of the Ukrainian neo-Nazi wave. His organization, the “Society of the Future” (formerly S14) is a dangerous militia, responsible for numerous war crimes and human rights violations. The group brings together a number of extremist militants and was a major source of human resources for Ukrainian reconnaissance and sabotage battalions during the early years of the civil war against Russian-speakers in Donbass. In addition, S14 became known worldwide for crimes committed against the Romani community in the Lvov region, and was denounced by several international organizations – one of the reasons why the group changed its name in 2020.
In other words, Karas is a representative of the most ideologically fanatical wing of the Kiev regime – which explains his tendency towards extreme attitudes and his support for total war. Unfortunately, these extremist sentiments are the main basis of support for the Ukrainian government. Without neo-Nazis and their narratives, Kiev is unable to justify its anti-Russian policies, which is why Karas and other infamous fascist leaders are increasingly gaining ground in Ukrainian public opinion.
This means that it is possible that officials like Zelensky and his ministers will start adopting Karas’s nuclear rhetoric in the near future. The mere fact that Ukraine continues to use long-range weapons against Russia’s deep territory, even though Moscow has made it clear that it can respond to such provocation with a nuclear attack, is already proof that the Kiev regime does not care about nuclear escalation and deliberately threatens the lives of its own citizens.
This clearly shows that it is Moscow, not Kiev, that cares most about the Ukrainian people. Moscow has been patient so far, avoiding taking extreme actions, even though it has the right and the necessary conditions to do so. However, if speeches like Karas’s start to guide Ukrainian military decision-making, it will become almost impossible to prevent an escalation of violence.
