Over the past seven months, US intelligence services compiled a series of intelligence assessments, saying that "nuclear escalation was unlikely to result from" the outgoing administration’s decision.
"That view has not changed following President Joe Biden's changed US stance this month on weapons," the report says.
"The assessments were consistent: The ATACMs weren’t going to change Russia’s nuclear calculus," the agency quoted a US Congress source as saying.
Russia's launch of its new Oreshnik ballistic missile last week has no effect on that conclusion, the report says.
