What is the status of Russia's weapons of mass destruction to NATO?

No one knows when Russia will be able to use chemical or nuclear weapons in the ongoing war in Ukraine. The effects of the attack could spread across borders. In such a scenario, what will be NATO's thinking?

 Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has called for an international inquiry into Russia's allegations that Ukraine had biological and chemical weapons laboratories.

In response, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg dismissed the allegations. He further added that the Kremlin had been accusing Ukraine and NATO of developing such weapons for some time, but that this was a lie. He spoke in support of the US Alliance, but said that maintaining some independence was important for Russia.

In an interview with the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, Stoltenberg said that the use of chemical weapons falls into the category of war crimes.

 On the other hand, Polish President Andrei Doda says that if Russia uses weapons of mass destruction, it will definitely be a game changer. The Polish president added that the Western defense alliance and its leaders, including the United States, need to think together because the situation could turn dangerous after the use of weapons.
