Ex-NATO commander Hamish de Bretton-Gordon believes that Putin losing control of Kursk would be “a dagger” in Putin’s heart.
He explained: “Putin is absolutely upset. He could have already lost 700,000 soldiers. Now that Ukraine is hitting back with the help of American ATACMS and British Storm Shadow missiles, he knows his troops in Kursk are in for a piece of cake.”
Both sides continued to exchange blows as Kiev launched its first ATACMS attacks this week, hitting a Russian military depot in Bryansk. They weren’t done there yet, however, as the British Storm Shadow missiles struck again two days later.

Amid the chaos, Putin greenlighted a new nuclear doctrine, creating new conditions under which Russia would consider using its arsenal. And while Bretton-Gordon dismissed nuclear threats as ‘bluff and bluster’, he expressed concerns about an escalating chemical threat.
He said: ‘The Russians are currently using chemical weapons on an industrial scale in the East, using something called chloropicrin, which was the first chemical weapon.
“If Putin were to replace that chloropicrin with the Novichok he used in Salisbury, thousands of people could be killed.”

He continued: “Whoever holds Kursk by Christmas time will be at the forefront of what is expected [Donald] Trump negotiations and ceasefire at the end of January next year.”
Bretton-Gordon urged NATO to provide Ukraine with more resources during this critical period, adding: “Hopefully these last four weeks are really beneficial for Ukraine.
“And hopefully it’s better late than never, rather than too late.”

In September, Putin said he would consider the West “direct participants” in the war in Ukraine if they offered the country the ability to attack targets in Russia.
Russia responded last weekend, saying America has taken “a very big step toward the start of World War III” after Biden’s decision.
Biden’s move was met with mixed reactions as while he was praised, others urged the outgoing president to “rethink this idea” and believe that he is “not making decisions anymore and this escalation only brings us closer to a global conflict.”
