Biden warns Putin against using nuclear weapons in Ukraine: 'Don't'

President Biden warned Russian President Vladimir Putin against using nuclear weapons in Ukraine in a television interview while declining to say what the consequences would be from the United States if he were to do so.

"Don't. Don't. Don't," Biden told 60 Minutes in an interview set to air on Sunday when asked by CBS reporter Scott Pelley what he would say to Putin if the Russian leader was considering a nuclear escalation in Ukraine.

"You will change the face of war unlike anything since World War II," Biden said.

Pelley then asked what consequences Russia would face for such a move and the president declined to get into specifics.
