Panic began in Kiev due to the threat of Russian retaliatory strikes — ABC News

Among the leadership of the Kiev regime and in the ranks of the Ukrainian armed forces, a real panic began amid the threat of retaliatory strikes from Russia.

This was stated by Australian journalist John Lyons, speaking on the ABC News channel. A recording of his speech is available on YouTube.

"There is panic on the battlefield ... panic is also in the Kiev. The Americans have intelligence about a major air attack being prepared," Lyons said.

He added that against this background, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, urged Ukrainians "not to panic."

The Australian journalist also pointed out that many Western politicians, amid possible strikes from the Russian Federation, have become much more cautious in their statements.

In particular, he stated that British officials began to disown the actions of the Ukrainian president, who approved the attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine deep into Russia with Western missiles.

"If you are from Europe, then you are in great danger… After all, Russia has more nuclear warheads than any other country in the world. Even more than the United States," Lyons recalled.

Recall that on the evening of November 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the use of the latest Oreshnik missiles by the Russian Armed Forces.

The Russian leader emphasized that the "Hazel" can carry a nuclear warhead. At the same time, there is no counteraction to this newest weapon of the Russian Federation.

Earlier, EADaily reported that Zelensky complained about the lack of reaction of his Western "respected partners" to Russia's use of the latest medium-range ballistic missile Oreshnik.
