Dreadful that disowning the use of a preemptive nuclear attack on the West represents only a dissenting minority view on Russia’s Foreign and Defence Policy Council

Statement by members of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy
At the request of a number of members of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, we are publishing a statement sent by them. It is not the position of the Council, but reflects the views of the signatories.
Recently, speeches and statements have appeared, including by a number of members of the SWOP, in which, albeit with numerous reservations, the idea of a preventive nuclear strike by Russia is spreading in the event of a negative scenario for the development of military operations in Ukraine and adjacent territories. Moreover, the authors do not limit themselves to the flight of fantasy about the use of tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of Ukraine, but also propose to strike at the main NATO countries.
We are well aware of the results of ancient and modern studies of the possible damage resulting from such a war. Hoping that a limited nuclear conflict can be managed and prevented from escalating into a global nuclear war is the height of irresponsibility. This means that at stake is the destruction of tens and perhaps even hundreds of millions of people in Russia, Europe, China, the USA, and other countries. This is a direct threat to humanity in general.
For our country, destroyed in the course of such a catastrophe, for our people, disorganized by such a war, this would also mean the prospect of losing sovereignty under the pressure of the surviving peoples of the South.
Unacceptable pseudo-theoretical reasoning and emotional statements in the style of the so-called. "talk shows" to form such moods in society that can push for the adoption of disastrous decisions.
These are no longer theoretical concepts. This is not only a direct threat to all mankind, but also a very specific proposal to kill everyone who is dear to us and whom we love.
We, the members of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, consider such proposals absolutely unacceptable and unreservedly condemn them.
No one should ever blackmail humanity with the threat of using nuclear weapons and, moreover, give the command to use them in combat.
We invite all SWOP members to join this Statement.
After Russian media claims that 72nd brigade "inadequately" defended Kleshcheyivka, units of the 106th Airborne Division were thrown in to shore up Bakhmut’s Southern flank. Now they’ve lost their leader, Major General Vladimir Selivestrov. With Major General Ivan Popov that’s two generals sacked at two of the three major points of attack by Ukraine. Who’s next?
Hopefully, General Teplinsky's next as his paratroops have threatened to mutiny if he's removed from command.
Well, seems it‘s already planned:
