The prospects of a nuclear conflict breaking out are "unthinkable," the spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Stephane Dujarric, said.
A reporter had asked the official whether the UN had been making "any preparations" in the wake of alleged "threats" to use chemical and nuclear weapons amid the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The reporter did not elaborate who exactly had purportedly voiced the "threats." Dujarric, however, firmly brushed off prospects of the situation deteriorating into a nuclear war.
"I have nothing to share with you on that. The mere thought of a nuclear conflict is unthinkable. It goes without saying that use of any kind of chemical or biological weapons would be atrocious and would go against international law," Dujarric stated.
