U.S. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green on November 25 called the possible transfer of nuclear weapons to Ukraine by outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden a crazy idea.

"This is insane and completely unconstitutional, possibly an act of treason. This must be stopped immediately! Is the Biden administration trying to start a nuclear war and use this as an excuse to stop the transfer of power to President-elect Donald Trump?" - wrote the Republican on the X network (formerly Twitter).

This is how the congresswoman commented on the news that Biden's officials are seriously considering transferring nuclear weapons to Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin approved an updated nuclear doctrine on November 19. It includes the amendments announced in September. In particular, for the first time a definition of a potential adversary against whom Russia is conducting nuclear deterrence is introduced.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov specified that the measure brings the norms in this area in line with the current situation. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also noted that Russia is strictly committed to the position of preventing nuclear war and defends a world in which nuclear weapons should never be used.

Commenting on the adoption of the document, the US State Department said that Washington had no plans to react to the changes. At the same time, it asserted that the United States and NATO "pose no threat to Russia."

At the same time, Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service Sergei Naryshkin said on November 20 that the West carelessly met Putin's decision to adjust the state's nuclear doctrine. According to him, Western countries realize that the adjustments largely devalue the efforts of the United States and NATO, which are trying to inflict a "strategic defeat" on Russia.
