US officials fear 'desperate' Putin could use a tactical nuke on a Ukrainian city in effort to win floundering war because he 'cannot afford to lose': Kremlin officials 'privately denounce' despot's 'clusterf**k invasion'
The House Select Committee on Intelligence on Tuesday held an open heading on 'Worldwide Threats', with testimony from the intelligence chiefs
Heads of the CIA, FBI, NSA, Defense Intelligence Agency and the Director of National Intelligence all spoke about their biggest concerns
Lt Gen Scott Berrier, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, said Putin has been working overtime to modernize its weaponry, particularly smaller-yield nuclear weapons
All emphasized that Putin had been angered by the pace of the invasion of Ukraine and by his perceived disrespect from the rest of the world
Some U.S. officials have privately speculated that the 69-year-old Russian president could use smaller-scale nuclear weapons to terrorize Ukraine into submission
The U.S. believes up to 4,000 Russian soldiers have died in the two weeks of the Ukraine war
By comparison, nearly 2,500 American troops were killed in Afghanistan over 20 years of war
Putin on Tuesday broadcast a message for International Women's Day in which he told the nation's mothers, wives and girlfriends that only professional soldiers were being sent to Ukraine, not conscripts
Russian news outlet Meduza claimed conscripts are being coerced into signing contracts of voluntary service to change their status
