The United States directly negotiated with the Russian side and warned of an immediate response in the event of the use of nuclear weapons against Ukraine.
Russian threats to use nuclear weapons , which came from the mouth of the head of the Kremlin a few days ago, forced almost every world leader to react to the threat of global danger. The United States has already announced the introduction of new sanctions after Russia held “pseudo-referendums” in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, while US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken in the 60 Minutes program said that his country has a plan in case of a nuclear attack by the Russian Federation, reports CBN.
