"President Vladimir Putin will face 'serious consequences' if he uses nuclear weapons in the war in Ukraine," Downing Street said.
British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace was in Washington for talks with his American counterpart amid reports that the Russian leader may detonate a nuclear warhead over the Black Sea.
"We clearly understand with Putin that the use of nuclear weapons will lead to grave consequences. I would refuse to speculate on this issue. I believe that the public should be confident that we are taking a leading role in this area," Downing added. - street
