The (false) Russian accusation that Kiev possesses chemical and biological weapons suggests, according to US President Joe Biden, that Russian President Vladimir Putin himself would consider using such weapons. Biden also warns of possible Russian cyber attacks in retaliation for Western sanctions against the country. The countries of the European Union have agreed on closer defense cooperation.
