This is the best summary I could come up with:
Poland’s foreign minister said the US had told Russia that it would strike Russian targets in Ukraine if Putin were to use nuclear weapons.
“Americans hitting our targets means starting a world war, and a Foreign Minister, even of a country like Poland should understand that,” Medvedev said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has consistently threatened to use nuclear weapons since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
In September of that year — when Russia began the partial mobilization of reservists for the war — Putin raised the specter of a nuclear conflict, adding that his warnings were “not a bluff.”
In February of this year, Putin made one of his most explicit threats after French President Emmanual Macron suggested NATO troops could be sent to Ukraine.
The criteria included conditions such as the destruction of 20% of Russia’s strategic ballistic missile submarines or an enemy incursion on Russian territory, per the FT.
