White house

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Friday that the United States has not seen Russia take steps that suggest it would use nuclear weapons in the war against Ukraine, but reiterated that the US takes the nuclear threat “very seriously”. of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“We are looking very carefully to see if Russia is actually doing anything that suggests they are considering using nuclear weapons. To date, we have not seen them take these actions,” Blinken said at a news conference at the US State Department.

“But we also know that Russia is involved in the horrific brutalization of Ukraine, and so the threats they make, we take very seriously,” he continued.

“As far as President Putin’s intent, I’m not going to speculate on what’s on his mind, I can only tell you that we plan against every possible scenario, including this one,” Blinken said.
