"US Urges China and India to Prevent Russian Nuclear Strike, Prepares Rigorously for Potential Threat in Ukraine: Reports"
TL;DR Summary
The US sought help from non-allies, including India and China, to dissuade Russia from carrying out a potential nuclear strike in 2022 amid fears of a Ukrainian counteroffensive. Concerns arose after Russian forces faced defeats and Ukraine targeted the city of Kherson. Russia's claim of a potential Ukrainian "dirty bomb" was seen as a pretext for aggressive action. President Biden later confirmed Russia's nuclear threat, and Putin made explicit nuclear threats following discussions about NATO aid to Ukraine.
