All NATO allies agree that the use of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons against Ukraine by the Russian army will change all calculations completely. And the alliance will be forced to give the toughest and most decisive response. This was stated by the presidents of the Baltic countries at a conference at the Atlantic Council.

Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda stressed that Moscow had already crossed numerous red lines in the course of its aggression against Ukraine.. But the use of weapons of mass destruction will mean that they no longer respect any international rules and borders..

“NATO's response will be decisive. And we shouldn't have any taboos. The cost of using biological, chemical or nuclear weapons must be very high for Russia. We must use every opportunity available to stop such Russian behavior,” Nauseda said..

In turn, the President of Latvia, Egils Levits, added that for now no one will say what kind of measures NATO is ready to take in response to a Russian chemical or nuclear strike on Ukraine..

“I cannot say that this will be the answer, so that Russia cannot prepare for this. But I assure you that Moscow will not like it,” the President of Latvia assured.

Earlier, the former Supreme Commander of the Allied Armed Forces of NATO in Europe, General Wesley Clark, said that the President of the aggressor country, Vladimir Putin, could order the use of tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of Poland..

The likelihood that Russian President Vladimir Putin could launch a nuclear strike on Ukraine if his plan to take Kyiv is not implemented was also stated by Bellingcat investigative journalist Hristo Grozev. At the same time, he recalled that in order to launch a rocket with a nuclear launch vehicle, five people must perform a certain sequence of actions..
