Officials engaged in 'prudent planning' to prevent panic in the West if Russia detonates nuclear bomb in Ukraine, report says

In the event of a nuclear bomb being used in Ukraine, Western officials are planning to prevent chaos in their home countries.

An unnamed Western official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Guardian that a nuclear crisis is highly unlikely, but plans are being prepared to mitigate terror-related reactions from the populations in the west.

According to a Western official, officials are looking at ways to prevent panic buying and people fleeing cities in fear. Emergency support and reassurance to millions of fearful citizens is one of the things officials are considering.

Kate Hudson is the general secretary of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.

The "Protect and Survive" campaign advised the public on how to survive a nuclear attack.

Russia has about 2,000 tactical nuclear weapons that can be deployed on the battlefield.

Russian President Putin has said that he is prepared to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. He said last month that he would protect Russian territory.

President Joe Biden told CNN that he doesn't think Putin will use nuclear weapons. The president warned that miscalculations could end in Armageddon.

France won't use nuclear weapons in response, according to the president. The comment was criticized by many people.
