"Russian Official Warns of Nuclear Retaliation Over Ukraine Conflict"

Dmitry Medvedev, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has threatened the use of nuclear weapons on the U.S. if Ukraine and its allies succeed in pushing Russia out of the war-torn country. He warned of dire consequences, including a global war with Western countries, and made nuclear threats against key U.S. and European capital cities. Russia possesses the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, and its officials have previously threatened to use nuclear weapons as the invasion of Ukraine continues.
