Russia-Ukraine War l Why Putin Should Be Wary Of NATO’s “Flexible Response” Nuclear Policy

Russian President Vladimir Putin has made it clear that he could use nuclear weapons amid the war in Ukraine. Russia reportedly possesses nearly 2,000 tactical nuclear weapons, which are kept in storage facilities throughout the country. Questions are now being raised about how NATO might respond if and when Putin resorts to a nuclear attack. Shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine in February, NATO had warned that it would respond to any Russian nuclear adventurism.
