Asked whether a Kremlin-orchestrated chemical attack would trigger a military response, the US president said: "It would trigger a response in kind"
Biden added: "We would respond. We would respond if he uses it [chemical weapons]. The nature of the response would depend on the nature of the use."
Mr Biden's remarks came as he met Nato, G7 and European leaders at a series of emergency summits in Brussels. They discussed what to do if Putin, whose forces are suffering unrelenting daily casualties, decided to unleash weapons of mass destruction
Leaders were repeatedly asked how they would respond to a chemical attack in Ukraine after a Western official had earlier suggested Nato would not intervene militarily even in the event of such a strike

As Ukraine's resistance against Russia grows, Kyiv's A&E units remain as busy as ever - with staff often as traumatised as patients, reports @colinfreeman99.
