Alternate Representative of the United States of America for Special Political Affairs in the United Nations Robert Wood urged Russia on Friday to reconsider plans to station tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus and to withdraw its troops from Ukraine, APA reports citing Teletrader.

Speaking at a UN Security Council meeting, Wood also called on Moscow to "immediately stop the escalating rhetoric regarding the potential use of nuclear weapons" and warned that "any use of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons in Ukraine will have severe consequences for the maintenance of international peace and security" and would "fundamentally change the nature" of the Ukraine war.
