USA (bbabo.net), - Washington takes Russian President Vladimir Putin's statements about nuclear weapons very seriously. This was announced today, September 23, by White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Friday at a regular briefing for journalists.

During a regular briefing for journalists, a White House spokeswoman was asked to comment on Putin's words that Russia will use all means at its disposal to protect its people and territorial integrity.

“We certainly take these threats very seriously. But at the moment we see no reason to change our own level of readiness of nuclear forces,” said Jean-Pierre.

According to the press secretary, the US authorities do not seek conflict with Russia and are only trying to "prevent further escalation over Ukraine."

“We have already said this and will repeat it: we do not seek conflict with Russia. Of course, we are careful to contain the escalation in this conflict,” she said.
