‘Paranoid’ Putin is under ‘more pressure’ than he’s ever faced

Russian President Vladimir Putin is a ”paranoid person” and is under ”more pressure than he’s ever been in his life,” says The Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan.

”And there is a real danger that he will strike out in an extremely destructive fashion,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News Australia.

”I think there’s a very serious risk that Putin will use a tactical nuclear weapon.

”It would be a very risky thing to do.”
