Russian authorities have already used threatening nuclear rhetoric.
NATO has no data that could to point out that Russia's nuclear arsenal has been brought to a higher level of readiness. According to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, the alliance is doing everything possible to minimize such risks. He said this in an interview with Welt am Sonntag.
“We hear threatening nuclear rhetoric from the Russian leadership. This is irresponsible and ruthless. Nuclear war cannot be won and should not be started, including in Russia. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine on February 24, NATO has not noticed any changes in Russia's nuclear strategy, “said the alliance's secretary general.
Asked by reporters whether Russia's nuclear weapons were on high alert, Stoltenberg said NATO had “no indication of that.”
Our job is to minimize this risk. NATO is the strongest alliance in the world. And our message is clear: if nuclear weapons were used, there would be only losers on all sides, “said the NATO Secretary General.

Russia has promised not to use nuclear weapons in the war against Ukraine. The statement was made by Deputy Director of the Information Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry Alexei Zaitsev.
Also, the head of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin said that Russia can launch a nuclear strike only in response to the same type of attack.
However Russia has already ridiculed Western warnings that it is preparing an attack on Ukraine and has said that there can never be a war between Russia and Ukraine.
