New Delhi 06 October 2022

As per news report of BBC, Mr Biden said Russia's President Vladimir Putin was "not joking" when he spoke of using tactical nuclear weapons after suffering setbacks in Ukraine. The US was "trying to figure out" Mr Putin's way out of the war, he added. The US and the EU have previously said Mr Putin's nuclear sabre-rattling should be taken seriously. However, the US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan last week said that, despite Moscow's nuclear hints, the US had seen no signs that Russia was imminently preparing to use a nuclear weapon. Ukraine has been retaking territory occupied by Russia, including in the four regions Russia illegally annexed recently.
