Asked how realistic he believed it would be for Putin to use a tactical nuclear weapon, Biden responded, "Well, I don’t think he will."

Russian Pesident Vladimir Putin, under domestic pressure to increase the war as his forces have lost ground since early September, ordered Monday's missile strikes in response to an alleged Ukrainian attack on Russia's bridge to annexed Crimea.

In recent weeks, Moscow moved to annex new tracts of Ukraine after referendums widely denounced as illegal, mobilised hundreds of thousands of Russians to fight, and repeatedly threatened to use nuclear arms, stoking alarm in the West.

Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary Genera, told on Tuesday the military alliance has not noticed any change in Russia's nuclear posture following the threats.

Ukraine’s military said that its forces drove Russian troops out of several settlements near the Russian-occupied town of Beryslav in the Kherson region.
