The White House on Friday said it has seen no indication Russia is planning on using nuclear weapons but defended President Biden warning of "Armageddon."
In an interview with ABC News, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked about a report that Russia may be planning to use nuclear weapons.
"We have seen no indication that Russia is planning to use nuclear weapons," Psaki said. "But, of course, we take any potential threat seriously."
Psaki also defended Biden's comments about the possibility of nuclear war with Russia.
"The president was clear that he believes there is a risk of nuclear escalation if we do not take steps to reduce the risk," she said. "And that is why he has been focused on arms control and nonproliferation."
