Senior Russian military officials have discussed how and when it could be used nuclear weapons in Ukraine. This was stated by two sources on American television CBS.
The conversation took place in mid-October, but President Vladimir Putin did not attend.
Following the media release, the White House said that concern over a potential nuclear scenario has grown in recent months, but stressed that so far there are no signs that Russia is preparing to make it happen.
Furthermore, Washington plans to consult with the United Nations on possible sanctions against Pyongyang.
“We have information that, despite public denials, North Korea is supplying Russia with a significant number of artillery shells and that it is masking the true destination of military expeditions to make it appear that they are going to countries in the Middle East or North Africa.” , said Ned Price, a spokesman for the US State Department.
