Moscow Responds To Nuclear Weapons Claim by cule7(m): 2:44pm On Apr 19, 2022 |
FM Sergey Lavrov has rejected claims that Moscow could resort to the use of tactical nuclear weapons Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has rejected claims that Moscow could resort to the use of tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine.Lavrov was questioned on the issue during an extensive interview with India Today in Moscow on Tuesday. When the journalist mentioned that “President Zelensky said that Russia plans to use tactical weapons,” the foreign minister didn’t even let her finish the question. “He says many things,” Lavrov said. He reminded that Russia had never mentioned the use of nuclear weapons as an option during its military operation in the neighboring country, and the Ukrainian leader was the only one to speak about this. “I cannot comment [on] something, which a not very adequate person pronounces,” the FM added. Lavrov reiterated the notion that “there could be no winners in a nuclear war,” and assured that Russia would only rely on conventional weapons in Ukraine. Zelensky claimed that Moscow could use tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine during his interview with CNN on Friday. “Not only me - all of the world, all of the countries have to be worried because it can be not real information, but it can be truth,” he warned without providing any proof to back his words. Russia attacked Ukraine in late February, following Kiev’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements, first signed in 2014, and Moscow’s eventual recognition of the Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. The German and French brokered protocols were designed to give the breakaway regions special status within the Ukrainian state. The Kremlin has since demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join the US-led NATO military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied claims it was planning to retake the two republics by force. https://www.rt.com/russia/554155-zelensky-lavrov-nuclear-ukraine/ |

Typically, Zelensky thinks this is drama. It is though; a bloody tragic absurdist drama. 2 Likes |
