Russian nuclear strike would trigger a ‘physical response’ by Nato, says official
A Russian nuclear strike would “almost certainly” trigger a “physical response” from Ukraine’s allies and potentially from Nato, a senior NATO official has said.
Any use of nuclear weapons by Moscow would have “unprecedented consequences” for Russia, the official was quoted by Reuters as saying.
It would “almost certainly be drawing a physical response from many allies, and potentially from Nato itself,” the official said.
The official added that Moscow was using its nuclear threats mainly to deter the alliance and other countries from directly entering its war on Ukraine.
