State Duma deputy Vyacheslav Nikonov (United Russia), who suggested that Moscow would have to use nuclear weapons, if NATO troops suddenly appear in the Donbass, thereby recognized Russia's participation in this conflict.

This was stated by the leader of the Russian opposition political party "Western Choice" Konstantin Borovoi, "Apostrophe".

"Talks of Russian politicians about the threat of war between the US and Russia are just blackmail. They are engaged in this for a long time and synchronously. The fact that both Putin and Nikonov simultaneously talk about this testifies that this is part of the propaganda campaign. It is clear that Putin can not say the same thing that Nikonov articulated - that this is an allegedly inevitable nuclear conflict. Nikonov, like other deputies, just scares. This is ordinary blackmail. No one, of course, will not use nuclear weapons, "Borovoy said..

According to him, the "Ukrainian conflict" is a "euphemism" of the Kremlin when it comes to Russia's aggression against Ukraine. In this case, and Putin, and Nikonov to the Americans, notes Borovoi.

"It is not necessary and impossible to take seriously the bugbears of Kremlin representatives and deputies, because today it is a tool for conducting military operations - propaganda war. The effect of the information war is already very high. Even the European Parliament adopted a resolution on propaganda campaigns that very effectively influence public opinion. But not only! It is already recognized that such instruments influence the position of voters, electoral issues in France, Germany, the United States are being resolved, "he explained..

These propaganda tools Moscow realizes the concept of the split of Europe, says the politician. And they require much less effort than military action.

"The facts of attempts to bribe the deputies of the European Parliament.

Everyone understands and knows that in the major Western media there are propaganda articles of famous journalists simply for money. By creating the appearance of a war between the United States and Russia, Moscow manages to keep the Western voter in fear, thereby pushing for the election of the candidate or party that represents the line of reconciliation with Russia, "Borovoy emphasized..

As reported by the "Observer", Putin said that Russia "strains" the "vassals" of the United States.
