* Fears that Moscow could use a nuke have grown after Putin issued veiled threats
* NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg has warned Russia of 'severe consequences'
* Alliance has stopped short of threatening to use its nuclear arsenal to respond
* This is because Ukraine is not covered by NATO's mutual self-defence clause
Russian forces would be 'annihilated' by the West's military response if Vladimir Putin uses nuclear weapons against Ukraine, the EU's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell warned Moscow on Thursday.
At the opening of a Diplomatic Academy in Belgium, Borrell said: 'Putin is saying he is not bluffing.
Well, he cannot afford bluffing, and it has to be clear that the people supporting Ukraine and the European Union and the Member States, and the United States and NATO are not bluffing neither.
'Any nuclear attack against Ukraine will create an answer, not a nuclear answer but such a powerful answer from the military side that the Russian Army will be annihilated.'
