Biden made his comments while addressing a crowd of Democratic supporters in New York City.
Putin is not making light of the potential use of a tactical nuclear bomb, according to Biden.
The scenario is like Armageddon, he continued, and is the most hazardous since the Cuban missile crisis.
Since Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis, he claimed, “we haven’t had to deal with the possibility of the end of the world.”
The last comment by Biden, in which he indicated he does not rule out meeting Putin during the G20 summit in Indonesia, came hours prior to this one.
In addition, the White House earlier stated that despite Russia’s blazing conflict with Ukraine, there are currently no signs that it will deploy nuclear weapons.
The topic of nuclear energy is prominent.
Recent weeks have seen the appearance of nuclear weapons in the conflict in Ukraine, following a string of military failures for Russia.
Ramzan Kadyrov, the president of Chechnya, even advocated using “limited nuclear weapons” on Ukraine.
Under response to Kadyrov, the Kremlin emphasised that judgments in trying circumstances must be free of emotion.
There can be no additional considerations because everything is covered in the Russian nuclear doctrine, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
During the announcement of a partial military mobilisation in September of last year, Putin made a suggestion that his nation would use nuclear weapons to defend itself. He said that his nation “will use all available methods to defend itself.”
Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy director of Russia’s National Security Council, was more direct than his boss when he stated that if its borders were violated, Russia has the right to defend itself with nuclear weapons.
the potential use of nuclear weapons
The following are some possibilities that experts have put out for a nuclear assault by Russia against Ukraine or the West in general:
Situation 1: an attack on a parade
To demonstrate that Moscow takes its threats seriously and is not joking, Russia may in this instance drop a nuclear weapon on a region that is deserted, such as the Black Sea.
The second choice is a comparatively weak weapon.
A limited-power nuclear weapon dropped by Russia on a Ukrainian military base could result in hundreds or possibly thousands of fatalities as well as significant material losses.
The third choice is a powerful weapon.
A weapon three to six times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, with a range of 50 to 100 kilotons, may be dropped by Russia in this scenario.
A fourth possibility is a nuclear assault on NATO.
According to the study, this is the least possible and even unlikely scenario, and if it occurs, Russia will drop munitions on NATO sites in central European nations.
Putin is serious when he threatens to use nuclear weapons, according to Biden
