Nuclear Weapons Deployment was Imminent
The "New York Times" also reported that in October 2022, U.S. President Joe Biden (81) announced that highly classified messages from Russia had been intercepted, indicating that Putin's threats to use nuclear weapons were becoming increasingly concrete. During this period, from late summer to fall 2022, a series of emergency meetings of the National Security Council were convened to develop contingency plans. The goal was to deter or prevent Russia from using nuclear weapons or to respond in the event of a serious incident. At the same time, the United States was concerned because Russia's propaganda claimed that Ukraine was preparing to use a "dirty bomb." This raised fears that Russia was preparing for its own deployment of nuclear weapons.
China and India also Demanded a Renouncement of Nuclear Weapons
The United States monitored the movements of Russian nuclear forces, but was unsure if it had all developments in view, especially if Russia were to use smaller nuclear weapons. Therefore, the Americans pursued a diplomatic strategy to warn Moscow. They succeeded in getting two states that maintained good relations with Russia - India and China - to speak out against the use of nuclear weapons. U.S. officials stress that the public statements of Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi helped to prevent an escalation. This message made it clear to Russia that countries outside the Western alliance also unequivocally condemned the use of nuclear weapons. This strategy proved effective.
