This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to a video briefing by Deputy Pentagon Spokesperson Sabrina Singh.

"We see no reason to adjust the deployment of our nuclear forces. We have seen no indication that Russia is planning to use nuclear weapons," Singh said.

At the same time, she emphasized that the United States considers Russia's decision to conduct exercises to practice the use of non-strategic nuclear weapons "absolutely irresponsible" and potentially threatening to global security.
