Russian President Vladimir Putin has reignited fears that he is about to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine following a viral video and a defense analyst's comments.

Could be a feint. Could be munitions.

(243 posts)1. Many plausible explanations
No nukes in sight.
They need tanks.
And as my army veteran dad pointed out by looking at the image captures from both videos... One looks like the cleaned up the yard AND roof after the first video.
Unless we missed something, that's a sure sign of deliberate propaganda.
