Furthermore, Borrell explained that any nuclear attack on Ukraine would create a response.
“Not a nuclear response, but a very strong response from the military that the Russian army will be annihilated,” he said.
NATO warns Russia
Meanwhile, NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg has warned Russia of the impact of launching a nuclear strike against Ukraine.
“We will not discuss exactly how we will respond, but obviously this will radically change the nature of the conflict,” Stoltenberg said.
He also pointed out that any use of smaller nuclear weapons would trigger serious things.
NATO and the United States have so far avoided military intervention in the conflict in Ukraine. They fear that the intervention could trigger a nuclear conflict with Moscow.
“The circumstances under which NATO may have to use nuclear weapons are very remote,” Stoltenberg said.
Another NATO official said Russia’s use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine would result in an important response.
“It will almost certainly attract a physical response from many allies and potentially NATO itself,” the official said.
Talks about the nuclear issue in Moscow have increased after the Ukrainian military has carried out dozens of attacks in the past month.
In recent weeks, Putin has proclaimed the annexation of Ukrainian territory. He has also threatened to defend the territory, which he claims is part of his country, with nuclear weapons.
According to Western officials, Putin will hold nuclear exercises in the coming days.
Russia regularly conducts annual nuclear exercises, but this program could be accelerated.
