US to respond to any use of nuclear weapons by Russia without distinction, national security advisor says

The United States will respond to any use of nuclear weapons by Russia without distinction, US national security advisor Jake Sullivan told CNN, reported from foreign media sources.

A CNN anchor asked Sullivan if the US response would be different if Russia used only tactical nuclear weapons or if it launched a large-scale nuclear attack.

"The use of a nuclear weapon on the battlefield in Ukraine is the use of a nuclear weapon on the battlefield in Ukraine, and we’re not going to slice the salami,” Sullivan said. "The notion that somehow there are differences in use here, I think, is a dangerous notion.”
