The question framed the issue of whether a cornered Putin would resort to nuclear weapons. His answer was very somber and he doesn't rule it out.

Remember as someone on Biden's national security team, an answer like this which should not make news is what is needed. Even the SoS will not step beyond the official position. I have no idea what things you would want him to say.
