Russia Warns West: Nuclear Threats Are Serious Amid Ukraine Conflict

Dmitry Medvedev, a senior Russian official, warned that Russia is not bluffing about using tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine, as President Biden authorized limited strikes using U.S.-supplied weapons on Russian military targets near the Ukrainian border. Medvedev emphasized that Western support for Ukraine could escalate the conflict, potentially leading to a broader war. The White House maintains that the policy is limited and does not include long-range strikes inside Russia.
