The President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, probably plans to test nuclear weapons near Ukraine - for this purpose, he sent a so-called "nuclear train" towards the front line.

 This is reported by The Times.

 Vladimir Putin has made it clear he is ready to use nuclear weapons "to defend Russia," and tensions have escalated since he annexed four regions of Ukraine where fierce fighting continues.

 And now a convoy of BPM-97 armored personnel carriers and other military equipment is moving through central Russia, as the pro-Russian Rybar channel reported on Telegram.

 The sophisticated equipment, which includes anti-mine weapons, reportedly belongs to the 12th Main Directorate of the Russian Army, which manages the central nuclear weapons storage facilities.

 Polish military analyst Konrad Muzyka noted that this train is responsible for nuclear munitions, their storage, maintenance, transportation and delivery to relevant units.

 This could mean that nuclear weapons are being taken to the front, or it could be an attempt by Putin to threaten and intimidate the West.

 Musica tweeted about the image of the train: "Does this mean this video shows preparations for a nuclear explosion? Not really. There are other more plausible explanations."

 In his opinion, this can be a message from the West or military equipment can be used for educational purposes.

 According to the British publication, NATO has already warned its allies about possible Russian nuclear tests near the border with Ukraine.
