This was stated by the coordinator of the National Security Council of the White House, John Kirby, writes Ukrinform. 

"We have no indication that Russian President Vladimir Putin intends to use weapons of mass destruction," Kirby said in response to a question about Russia's possible reaction to the mass supply of tanks to Ukraine.

He added that he also meant tactical nuclear weapons

"We are monitoring (the situation - ed.) as much as possible, and we believe that our position of strategic deterrence is appropriate," - summed up the highly respected representative of the White House.

We will remind that earlier the President of Russia Vladimir Putin continued his nuclear blackmail about the fact that the

Russian Federation can use Crimea and Belarus for nuclear provocations

. 

At the same time, NATO Secretary General Jens 

Stoltenberg assessed the risk of using Russian nuclear weapons

.

He is convinced that such rhetoric is irresponsible and dangerous.
