☢️ At the end of 2022, the Biden administration was "thoroughly preparing" for a possible nuclear strike by russian forces on Ukraine. This was no ordinary concern—the apprehensions were based on intelligence information.

Citing sources, CNN writes that the US wanted to prepare and do everything possible to prevent Russia from taking this step. Against the background of the then military defeats (the loss of Kherson and the lands of the Kharkiv region), Russian officers and officials discussed a nuclear strike.

The US discussed deterrence plans with its allies, as well as with India and China. The leaders of the last states helped prevent a nuclear crisis. The threat has decreased somewhat, but no one rules out further tensions.
