BidenPutin could escalate "prospect of Armageddon" with nuclear weapons
"President Biden warned Thursday that the Russian invasion of Ukraine invites the highest nuclear "prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban missile crisis."
Why it matters: Kremlin officials hinted at using nuclear weapons ahead of Russian President Vladimir Putin signing laws Wednesday claiming the annexation of Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and Luhansk into Russia, vowing to defend the Ukrainian regions as Russian territory.
Russian forces do not fully control any of those four regions and have suffered a series of major setbacks eight months into the invasion, as Ukraine's military advances in the country's south and northeast.
Biden's comments come after Russian forces fired seven missiles into residential buildings on Thursday in the city of Zaporizhzhia — home to Europe's largest nuclear power station.
Details: "Putin is "not joking when he talks about potential use of tactical nuclear weapons or biological or chemical weapons because his military is, you might say, significantly underperforming," Biden said at a fundraiser Thursday."
