This am the US National security advisor, Jake Sullivan was asked about response from the US should Vlad go nuclear. He was understandably cagey in his response but twice said the response would “catastrophic” for Russia. He also said that if Vlad decides to use nuclear weapons, he will do so knowing full well what the US response will be.
