After anxious statements made by US officials regarding the search of leaders in the Russian army, the use of tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine, the White House has returned and reassured.
He declared on Thursday that there are no signs that Moscow intends to use nuclear weapons during the ongoing military campaign in Ukraine.
However, the White House stressed that the United States is dealing seriously and taking all indicators seriously with the issue of nuclear weapons.
While these developments were taking place, US officials confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s statements about using nuclear weapons were more than just threats, noting that the failures of Russian forces on the ground in some regions of Ukraine could prompt an immediate nuclear response.
However, they claimed that intelligence reports had reached President Biden’s administration by mid-October, and they offered no proof that Russia was constructing a tactical nuclear arsenal.
It is noteworthy that Putin was warned throughout the Russian operation in Ukraine, and Russia has continued for seven months (and even before) that he would use nuclear weapons.
According to the Union of American Scholars, based on the quantity of nuclear warheads it possesses—5977 as opposed to 5428—Russia has the greatest nuclear force in the world.
The Russian forces also have about two thousand tactical nuclear weapons under operation, while America possesses about 200 of these weapons, half of which are deployed in bases in Italy, Germany, Turkey, Belgium and the Netherlands..
White House: There are no indications that Russia plans to use nuclear weapons.
