A senior Biden administration official said Wednesday that Russiaās President Putin is making another ālegalisticā justification for his war by threatening aĀ nuclearĀ attack on the West.Ā
The senior administration official said Putin āplaying the nuclear cardā was similar to remarks he had previously made.Ā
Vladimir Putin has accused the NATO countries of engaging in nuclear blackmail.
The way the Biden administration understands Putinās threat, explained the senior administration official is that he is using a ālegalisticā construct. If these āshamā referendums pass, then any attempts by Ukraine to retake those territories will be seen as an attack on Russia itself, allowing it to use all options.
āSort of a bizzare Russian version of Article 5,ā explained the Biden administration official.
āSo there is, in our view, one world, the fictitious Russian legal world, and then there is the real world,ā official added.
āIt is not an act of confidence, in fact, it is an act of weakness,ā a senior administration official offered his thoughts.Ā
āWeāre sending very clear messages to Russia about the consequences of escalation,ā senior administration official added. āThat doesnāt mean that weāre blind to the dynamics that could lead to escalation.ā
The senior Biden administration official said that other countries would not buy Putinās āabsurdā arguments on this.
āThe play he is running here is not going to succeed.ā
