The possible use of nuclear weapons against Ukraine is likely to provoke a physical response from many allies and potentially NATO itself.
If Russia decides to launch a nuclear strike, it will change the course of the war against Ukraine and likely provoke a “physical response” from Kyiv’s allies and – potentially – NATO. On Wednesday, October 12, a senior alliance official told Reuters on condition of anonymity.
He noted that any use of nuclear weapons by Russia would have “unprecedented consequences” for it and “will likely provoke a physical response from many allies and potentially NATO itself.”
The representative of the Alliance added that Russia, with its nuclear threats, is mainly trying to prevent the direct entry of NATO and other states into the war in Ukraine.
This was perhaps the first statement by the Alliance, confirming the possibility of armed intervention by the West in the event of Russia using nuclear weapons.
It will be recalled that last week the US President warned that the risk of “nuclear Armageddon” has reached its highest point since the Cuban missile crisis.
It was previously known that NATO has prepared a plan in case of a nuclear strike.
