8:19Now PlayingDaniel Baer is acting director of the Europe Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
Speaking to Calum Macdonald on Times Radio Early Breakfast, Daniel analysed the Russian attack on Ukraine and Vladimir Putin's nuclear threat on the West.
He said: "I hope and trust that those on both sides of the Atlantic who are in senior positions and national security positions are doing that.
"Certainly, there's been lots of war-gaming and practice to kind of identify opportunities to de-escalate away from a threshold that would be nuclear. And so people have inherited wisdom of a couple generations of trying to predict that."
He also commented on Russia's latest attack on Ukraine's second largest city, Kharkiv. He said: "Kharkiv would be a city that would feel quite familiar to many people in England and many people in the United States.
"It is a modern city. It has a high-speed rail between Kyiv and Kharkiv. It's certainly nicer than a lot of the trains in the United States, certainly as modern as any trains that you would find in England.
"And I think it's really horrible, horrifying to watch the footage of indiscriminate bombing on the second largest city in Ukraine."
