US President Joe Biden has warned Russia not to use chemical or tactical nuclear weapons in the war in Ukraine.

Speaking during an interview with CBS News, Mr Biden said such action would “change the face of war unlike anything since World War Two”.

In an interview with CBS’ 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley in the White House, President Biden was asked what he would say to President Putin if he was considering using weapons of mass destruction in Ukraine.

“Don’t, don’t, don’t,” was President Biden’s response. Mr Biden was then asked what the consequences would be for Mr Putin if such a line was crossed.

“You think I would tell you if I knew exactly what it would be? Of course, I’m not gonna tell you. It’ll be consequential,” Mr Biden responded.

“They’ll become more of a pariah in the world than they ever have been. And depending on the extent of what they do will determine what response would occur.”
