פיגוע ירי בהיכל קרוֹקוּס בעיר קְרָסנוֹגוֹרסק בפרברי מוסקבה. לפחות ארבעה מחבלים חמושים פרצו למבנה וירו במבקרים, רגע לפני תחילת הופעה מוזיקלית של להקת ״פיקניק״, לפחות 133 הרוגים ועוד 90 אחרים נפצעו. מדיווחים שונים נטען שהמחבלים נמלטו למבנה סמוך עם בני ערובה. למקום הגיעו לוחמי המשמר הלאומי ושירות הביטחון הפדרלי. כבאים ומחלצים של המשרד למצבי חירום פועלים במקום עם כמה מסוקי כיבוי. חשש לקריסת המבנה.

MEMORIAL DAY SEPTEMBER 4

Today, the Krasnogorsk monastery rejoices brightly and the Raifa desert triumphs with it, like a sunny dawn that shone from the east, having received, Lady, Your miraculous icon, with which you disperse the darkness of temptations and troubles from those who cry out to you with faith: "Deliver our monastery and all Christian countries from all the machinations of the enemy and save our souls, as The Merciful Defender of the Christian race."

Editor's note: This piece is part of a series of policy analyses entitled “The Talbott Papers on Implications of Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine,” named in honor of American statesman and former Brookings Institution President Strobe Talbott. Brookings is grateful to Trustee Phil Knight for his generous support of the Brookings Foreign Policy program.

Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, the threat of nuclear war has loomed over the conflict. Yet with President Vladimir Putin’s latest announcement that Russia would hold exercises for tactical nuclear weapons use in combat—supposedly in response to “provocative statements” from Western officials—Russia’s nuclear brinksmanship has possibly reached a new phase, in which higher risks need to be met with an upgraded Western deterrence posture. This deterrence is obviously different from the traditional war-prevention messaging because the high-intensity hostilities in Ukraine are progressing into year three. The theoretical model of deterrence in bello is, however, also not quite applicable because the war is uniquely asymmetric, with Ukraine fighting for its existence, Russia perceiving the battles as a part of an existential confrontation, and the West seeking to avoid any direct engagement while empowering Ukraine to win. The effectiveness of this new deterrence exercised by the West depends primarily on decisions made in Moscow, whose real-time assessments of the course of combat operations are complicated by its leaders’ opaque and highly personalized risk calculus.

One key input for such assessments is the fact that Putin’s new presidential term is off to a rocky start. The deadly terrorist attack targeting a concert in Moscow’s Krasnogorsk suburb has signified a failure of the Russian special services, which were warned about the threat by the U.S. authorities. This disaster left the impression that Putin’s reign, which started with the deadly explosions in Moscow in September 1999, has come full circle. Moscow’s efforts to invent a “Ukrainian connection” are a natural diversion, but the problem with this blame-shifting is that the intensity of missile strikes on Kyiv, Odesa, Kharkiv, and Lviv cannot be raised any higher. By early May, it had become clear that Putin had failed to deliver a “punishment” that could have restored his credibility, which has been further compromised by Russia’s inability to respond to Ukrainian strikes on such strategic assets as the early-warning radar in Mordovia and the Tu-22M3 long-range bomber.

Several international developments are also raising the pressure on Moscow. The U.S. Congress’ approval of a long-awaited aid package to Ukraine can potentially open a new path to victory for Kyiv. Together with the funding provided by the European Union and many European states, this support effectively closes the window of superiority that Russia has sought to exploit since the start of 2024, in which it failed to achieve a strategic breakthrough beyond the battle for Avdiivka, despite fierce attacks with heavy casualties. Thus, at a time when the Russian public’s support for perpetual war is eroding, Putin is facing the prospect of yielding the strategic initiative to Ukraine. He may find this future unacceptable.

Putin’s announcement of an exercise for non-strategic nuclear forces makes it probable that Russia may escalate its nuclear brinksmanship in the next few months, and this analysis aims to assess how Moscow’s nuclear blackmail may take shape. It starts with a brief update on the nuclear capabilities that constitute the material basis of Russian strategic planning and proceeds to a short evaluation of how deterrence was applied in the first two years of the war. Consideration is then given to how Russia’s nuclear threats have sought to splinter European solidarity since the start of 2024 and to how Moscow may intensify these threats in response to the renewal of U.S. support to Ukraine.
