US President Joe Biden warned Moscow again today that using nuclear weapons would be an “extremely serious mistake”, as Russia claims Ukraine is close to building a “dirty bomb”, a claim denied by Kyiv and the West.

“Russia would make an extremely serious mistake if it used a tactical nuclear weapon,” President Biden said.

Meanwhile, Moscow has informed Washington of an imminent exercise of its nuclear forces, the US Pentagon confirmed today, without going into further details. The exercise is expected to include ballistic missile launches.

“The US has been informed and, as we have previously emphasized, this is a routine annual exercise by Russia,” said Pentagon spokesman Brigadier General Patrick Ryder. “Therefore, in this regard, Russia is complying with its obligations to control its arsenal and its commitments regarding such notifications for reasons of transparency,” he added.
