US National Intelligence said it would not want to unleash a world war because of assistance to Ukraine

“We support Ukraine, but we don’t want to end up in a situation of a third world war,” she said at a congressional hearing.

Haynes noted that, according to intelligence, Russia "will not go for the use of nuclear weapons outside the situation of" existential threat ", but it may consider NATO's involvement in the conflict as such, writes RIA Novosti.

In March, US President Joe Biden said that the United States did not intend to enter into an armed conflict with Russia in Ukraine.

According to him, "a direct confrontation between NATO and Russia is the third world war."

As the head of the Russian state, Vladimir Putin, noted, if someone tries to intervene in the ongoing events and create unacceptable strategic threats for Russia, then retaliatory strikes will be lightning fast.
