President Vladimir Putin says Russian nuclear weapons will be stationed in Belarus.
That has drawn sharp criticism from the West.
The European Union has called Putin's comments irresponsible and warned Russia's ally Belarus it could face more sanctions.
Ukraine has called for an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council, accusing Moscow of making Minsk a 'nuclear hostage'.
The Russian President also warned he would be forced to react if the UK supplied Ukraine with armour-piercing ammunition containing depleted uranium.
So could the war take a new turn?
And how might NATO respond?
