European Pravda: Chances for Nuclear Attack and Changes in the Defense Assistance: Interview of Victoria Nuland  

The United States remains the key defense assistance provider for Ukraine in the fight against Russia. Most of the assistance comes quietly, and this sometimes creates an image as if many Ukrainian requests remain unsatisfied.

Update: US warns Russia of 'astronomical' nuclear price (RT)  

WNU Editor: The key quote from the interview is the following .... 

.... No one can exclude it (a nuclear weapon is used). 

Given that Vladimir Putin has already ordered awful, vicious, brutal war crimes, anything could happen. Different kinds of catastrophic weaponry could be used. 

We are very aggressively making Kremlin aware that it would be catastrophic not just for Ukraine and the world. It would be absolutely catastrophic for Putin and for Putin's Russia too. 

Putin will be held accountable for war crimes already committed, but the use of catastrophic weapons would take this to a completely new level, and Ukraine will not be left alone. The cost imposed on Putin and Putin's Russia would be astronomical in this context. 

I interpret this warning as a nuclear threat that if Russia uses nuclear weapons in Ukraine, the U.S. will respond in kind.
