No signs of Russia preparations to use nukes in Ukraine: CIA

Washington, The Gulf Observer: The Central Intelligence Agency [CIA] of the United States sees no signs of Russian preparations to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, CIA Director William Burns has told the Aspen Security Forum.

“We do not see today any concrete preparations for the potential use of nuclear weapons,” he said, adding that “the nuclear sabre rattling is reckless and deeply irresponsible.”

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in late September 2022 that all situations where Russia may potentially use nuclear weapons had been clearly spelt out in its military doctrine.
