"When we see that kind of nuclear rhetoric again and again from Russia, from President Putin, it is something that we have to take seriously – and therefore we are conveying the clear message that this will have severe consequences for Russia," the NATO Secretary General said.

According to him, the use of nuclear weapons is absolutely unacceptable, and it would completely change the nature of the conflict. Mr. Stoltenberg believes the Russian Federation must understand that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.
