U.S., NATO ready to respond “in kind” if Russia uses chemical weapons in Ukraine
Ukrinform
The United States and NATO would respond proportionally to the possible use by Russia of chemical arms and other weapons of mass destruction in Ukraine.
That’s according to U.S. President Joe Biden, who spoke at a press conference in Brussels, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
NATO would respond “in kind” if Russia uses weapons of mass destruction in Ukraine, including chemical arms.
“We will respond if he uses it,” Biden said, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin. “The nature of the response depends on the nature of the use.”
As Ukrinform reported earlier, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Thursday that the Alliance would strengthen its chemical, biological, and nuclear defenses in the wake of threats of Russia using such types of weapons against Ukraine.
