Liz Truss' Nuclear Fears During Putin's Ukraine War Revealed

A new book details how former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss prepared for a potential nuclear strike by Russia during her brief tenure.

  • Liz Truss, during her short time as UK Prime Minister, was reportedly preparing for a nuclear threat from Russia amid the Ukraine war.
  • Concerns were heightened by US intelligence suggesting a 50% chance of Russia using a nuclear weapon in 2022.
  • Truss spent significant time analyzing weather patterns to mitigate potential nuclear fallout on the UK.
  • Despite fears, analysts and former US diplomats believed the likelihood of Russia using nuclear weapons was low due to lack of tactical advantage and potential backlash from allies like China.
  • The revelations come from the biography 'Out of the Blue,' which explores Truss' time in office during the critical stages of the Ukraine conflict.
