Vladimir Putin now realises that he has made a “colossal mistake” by invading Ukraine and the CIA and MI6 spies have warned there is “credible intelligence” that Moscow are planning a large attack.

The Russian President is preparing for a large scale attack which will then turn the war in Ukraine into his favour and Western leaders now seriously believe that a nuclear strike is on the cards.

Putin is preparing to place Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions of Ukraine into the Russian Federation following “sham” referendums which saw people being forced to vote in favour of the annexing at gun point.

By deploying tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine this will create whats known as a “radiation dead zone” which will instantly stop the Ukrainian forces counteroffensive.

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said last week that any region which is annexed by Moscow will come “under full protection,” meaning an attack on those areas is an attack on Russian soil.

Lavrov said, “All of the laws, doctrines, concepts and strategies of the Russian Federation apply to all of its territory,” referring specifically to the doctrine on the use of nuclear weapons.

The Russian Foreign Minister said that all territory will be “further enshrined” into their constitution.

A Kremlin spokesman said, “Tomorrow [Friday] at 15:00 in the Georgievsky Hall, the signing of agreements on the entry of new territories into the Russian Federation will take place. There will be a voluminous speech by Putin.”

Experts have also warned that there are credible fears that Putin is preparing to hit Western internet cables which would be “very damaging” to the world’s financial markets and businesses.

A security source told The Mirror, “Putin has almost run out of options which makes a tactical nuclear strike possible west of the four regions he is claiming.

“It is possible he believes this will be enough as a show of intent to get the west to back off, create a dead zone to halt the Ukrainian counter-offensive and claim victory in the east.

“But another possibility is an attack on the communication cables between the UK and America, many of which are European links to the States.”

Russia has the world’s largest fleet of spy submarines, and the Belgorod was specifically designed to attack undersea cables.

The Belgorod and other spy subs can easily access to the Baltic Sea via Kaliningrad and St Petersberg, where they also have a fleet of underwater drones.

On Tuesday Russian owned gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea were blown up in a blast that was so powerful it caused an earthquake which measure 2.3 on the Richter scale, which was confirmed by Sweden’s National Seismology Centre (SNSN).

Russia has been blamed for the attack to which they deny and as a result Norway have deployed their military to the Baltic Sea.

Dr Stepan Stepanenko, research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society, told MailOnline, “At first glance, this act equates to cutting one’s nose off to spite the face [but] to understand why Russia would do this, we have to look at it in the context of the sham referendum taking place in Ukraine.

“Putin is fast running out of options, he needs to end the conflict with a tangible territorial gain before Russians twig what the rest of the world already knows: He lost the war.

“By conducting these sham referenda and moving the border to make these regions Russian territory, he is backing the West into an ultimatum; liberate these regions and you are directly attacking Russia.

“In this context, if Nord Stream was indeed targeted by Moscow then we can’t avoid seeing it as Putin preparing for a global war, in which supplying gas to Europe would be directly aiding his enemy.”
