The United States said there was no evidence of Russia's preparations for the use of nuclear weapons

“There is no new intelligence or indication that Putin has made a decision to use nuclear weapons,” Kirby was quoted as saying by TASS on ABC television.

According to him, the US and its allies are closely monitoring.

He added that nothing has been recorded that would give Washington grounds to change the state of readiness of the strategic deterrence forces.

Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron, commenting on the words of American leader Joe Biden about the threat of nuclear war, said that it was necessary to be careful when talking about nuclear weapons.
