Russia's nuclear move that unsettles the USA.

Russia's nuclear weapon-related moves continue to unsettle the world. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who made statements on the subject, also expressed his concerns.

"THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION"

Blinken stated that they are "extremely concerned" about the possibility of Russia using nuclear weapons. In an interview with the Financial Times, Blinken said, "If this likelihood has increased from 5% to 15%, this is a very serious situation."

"BEIJING MAY ISSUE WARNINGS TO MOSCOW"

Blinken expressed that he believes China could help to limit Russia and that Beijing might issue warnings to Moscow regarding this matter. He also mentioned that Washington has talked to China about Russia's plans to place nuclear weapons in space, which could prompt Beijing to take action.

PUTIN: WE WILL NOT BE THE FIRST TO USE NUCLEAR WEAPONS

Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated that Russia will not be the first to use nuclear weapons and that such weapons are only considered as a last resort.

RUSSIA APPROVED NUCLEAR DOCTRINE

In November, Putin approved Russia's updated nuclear doctrine. According to the doctrine, the use of nuclear weapons is only seen as an extreme and necessary measure. However, on the other hand, Moscow announced that an attack on Russia by a state without nuclear capabilities, with the support of another country with nuclear capabilities, would be considered a "joint attack."
