In a recently published article from The Fresno Bee, Hodges has consistently asked that Ukraine be provided with all of the weapons it requires to recapture Crimea, including ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile Systems), which would allow for long-range precision attacks on the peninsula Moscow seized in 2014. In reaction to Korotchenko’s remarks, Hodges told Newsweek that the US government was “finally realising that the likelihood of Russia utilising a nuclear weapon is incredibly limited.”
“Crimea is the decisive terrain of this war,” Hodges said of the peninsula, which has witnessed an increase in attacks alleged to be carried out by Kyiv, including the Kerch Bridge, which connects the seized region with the Russian mainland.

He cast his worries as more than the ramblings of a “retired hawk,” but as part of a deliberate information effort aimed at swaying both Russian and Western audiences. Korotchenko went on to demand a debate on the “use and permissibility of tactical nuclear weapons.”
