Stoltenberg: Russia will face ‘severe consequences’ if it uses nuclear weapons.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in an interview with CNN that the alliance seeks to prevent any use of nuclear weapons by Russia. “The threats that President Putin is putting forward again and again increase tensions, are dangerous and are reckless,” he said. On Sept. 21, Putin threatened to use nuclear weapons, saying that “this is not a bluff.”
