Western politicians began to develop plans of action in case the world would panic over the use of nuclear weapons by Russia. How write in The Guardian, although nuclear war is considered unlikely, experts are exploring steps to prevent chaos.
According to the publication, citing an official who wished to remain anonymous, countries are reviewing plans to provide emergency assistance and support to the population, which is afraid of nuclear escalation.
When asked whether measures would be taken to prevent panic and mass exodus of the population from cities, the source of the publication replied that the governments of the countries are engaged in “prudent planning for a number of possible scenarios.”
The states in which such preparatory activities will be carried out are not specified.

On October 7, US President Joe Biden said that for the first time since the Caribbean crisis and the Cold War, “nuclear Armageddon” threatens the world, accusing Russia of nuclear escalation. At the same time, he ignored calls to NATO from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to launch “preemptive nuclear strikes” on Russia.
On October 6, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said that Washington and NATO have an unhealthy fear of the fact that Moscow has nuclear weapons. According to him, after the appearance of weapons of mass destruction in the United States, France and Russia have an understanding that no one will win in a nuclear war.
The Kremlin pointed out that only irresponsible people talk about nuclear escalation in the world. Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov urged to get acquainted with the Russian military doctrine.
On October 11, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergei Ryabkov stressed that Russia does not threaten anyone with the use of nuclear weapons, while the United States and its dependent countries are “introducing nuclear rhetoric” because of the events taking place in Ukraine.
