U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said that the United States expressed concern to Russia over the threats of using nuclear weapons in the war with Ukraine.
"We're focused on making sure that we're all acting responsibly, especially when it comes to this kind of loose rhetoric," Blinken said.
"We have been very clear with the Russians publicly and, as well as, privately to stop the loose talk about nuclear weapons." He confirmed that the United States had contacted the Kremlin about these threats of nuclear war.
"It's very important that Moscow hear from us and know from us that the consequences would be horrific. And we've made that very clear," he said.
Blinken declined to share details of how the USA would react to the use of nuclear weapons. However, he said the administration has a plan.
