Explained in plain English

Why is NATO warning Russia?

NATO is condemning Russia's 'irresponsible nuclear rhetoric' because Moscow has been making veiled threats about using nuclear weapons, especially in relation to the conflict in Ukraine. These warnings are meant to deter Russia from escalating the conflict and to reinforce international norms against nuclear threats.
