Putin’s talk of no use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine is "dangerous". "Why does he talk about the ability to use a tactical nuclear weapon?" : Biden

US President Joe Biden asked in an interview why his Russian counterpart President Vladimir Putin keeps talking about nuclear weapons if he has no intention of using them.

"If he has no intention, why does he keep talking about it? Why does he talk about the ability to use a tactical nuclear weapon?" Biden told Newsnation on Thursday.

“He’s been very dangerous in how he’s approached this,” Biden said.

Earlier in the day, Putin said during his speech at the Valdai Club that he has no intent of using nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
