Biden recognized the creation of the U.S. threat of nuclear confrontation with Russia

The provision of US support to Ukraine has created risks of unleashing a nuclear confrontation with Russia. This was reported by American President Joe Biden on January 13 during his final foreign policy speech, which was broadcast on the White House YouTube channel.

"I had two objectives: to unite the world in defense of Ukraine and to avoid conflict between two nuclear powers. We accomplished both," Biden said.

He specified that US allies should continue to provide any support to Kiev even after the departure of the current White House administration.

In addition, according to the American president, the current government has laid the foundations for the work of the future administration.

Last warning: Putin approves updated nuclear doctrine

Changes in nuclear deterrence policy are dictated by the current political situation

Earlier, on December 17, political analyst, economist and Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs said that the United States was provoking a nuclear war with Russia by escalating the situation around Ukraine. The analyst noted that by escalation he meant the situation in the Middle East and the decision of the United States to strike US missiles deep inside the Russian Federation.

Before that, on December 10, The National Interest magazine reported that NATO could deploy B-61 nuclear bombs on the territory of Poland or Ukraine in response to Russia's use of the Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile.

Before that, on November 25, US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green, commenting on media reports that the administration of incumbent President Joe Biden is seriously considering transferring nuclear weapons to Ukraine, called it a crazy idea. She suggested it was an excuse to stop the transfer of power to President-elect Donald Trump.

Russian President Vladimir Putin approved an updated nuclear doctrine on Nov. 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. On November 21, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia was making every effort to prevent a nuclear exchange with the United States.
