The Capitol Building in Washington DC. File photoWASHINGTON, May 10.The United States, in its support of Ukraine, does not want to bring things to the Third World War, said Director of National Intelligence Avril Haynes. «We support Ukraine, but we do not want to end up in a World War III situation» , she said at a congressional hearing. Haynes reiterated that Russia, in the opinion of intelligence, would not go for the use of nuclear weapons outside the situation of an «existential threat», but could consider losing the conflict in Ukraine and involving NATO in it. Director of Military Intelligence Scott Berrier, who is also participating in the hearing, said the US «right now» does not see Russia's intention to use tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine. «We are very focused on this issue,» he said.
