NATO called the risk of Russia using nuclear weapons in Ukraine small.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg believes that the risk of Russia using nuclear weapons in Ukraine is small, but the alliance takes this very seriously, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia has never proactively said anything about the use of nuclear weapons, and forcing the thesis about the possibility of using nuclear weapons by Russia is used to negatively influence countries friendly to Russia.

“The risk that Russia will use nuclear weapons in Ukraine is small, but the consequences will be huge, so we take it very seriously. Russia is acting irresponsibly and recklessly. Nuclear weapons will change the nature of the conflict. There will be no winners in a nuclear war. We make clear this is a message. Russia’s nuclear stance has not changed,” Stoltenberg said.
