US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is calling on every UN Security Council member to “send a clear message [to Russia] that these reckless nuclear threats must stop immediately.”

Blinken is addressing a council session about Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said earlier this week that his nuclear-armed country will “certainly use all means available to us” if its territory is threatened and to defend the country and its people.
