US scrambled to urge Putin not to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, Woodward book says

New Indian Express  

WASHINGTON: Months into Russia’s war in Ukraine, the United States had intelligence pointing to “highly sensitive, credible conversations inside the Kremlin” that President Vladimir Putin was seriously considering using nuclear weapons to avoid major battlefield losses, journalist Bob Woodward reported in his new book, “War.” The US intelligence pointed to a 50% chance that Putin would use tactical nukes if Ukrainian forces surrounded 30,000 Russian troops in the southern city of Kherson, the book says. National security adviser Jake Sullivan stared “with dread” at the intelligence assessment — described as coming from the best sources and methods — in late September 2022, seven months after Russia’s invasion, the book says. The famed Watergate reporter’s latest book also details Donald Trump’s conversations with Putin since leaving office, Biden’s frustrations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and more. The book provides intriguing inside details about the U.S. assessment of the possibility of Putin deploying nukes, but the Biden administration’s concerns that Russia might use tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine were not secret.
