TL;DR Summary

Russian President Vladimir Putin recently responded to a question about the potential use of nuclear weapons in the context of Ukraine, stating that it is theoretically possible if there is a threat to Russia's territorial integrity, independence, and sovereignty. Putin also made a joke about Russia having more tactical nuclear weapons than NATO countries and used a Russian slang term that translates to "F*ck them" when referring to the United States. This comes after U.S. President Joe Biden's national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, criticized Russia for its disregard for international law and stated that the U.S. would have no choice but to develop and deploy newer, more dangerous nuclear weapons once the New START treaty expires. The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, fueled by the expansion of NATO up to the Russian borders, has resulted in Ukraine losing 20% of its territory, which has been absorbed into the Russian Federation.
