The Russian delegation to the UN stated that the worsening of the Ukrainian issue indicates that there should be warnings about the potential for nuclear war, and it urged the nations who possess the lethal weapon to use restraint and responsibility.
The excesses of the Kyiv administration regarding the red lines, he noted, did not render the agreement signed by the five nuclear states on January 3, 2022 invalid or less significant, but rather raised the voices of those who argued for the necessity of its implementation.
The development of the situation in Europe and NATO’s ambitions to grow at the expense of Russian security, he continued, is a flagrant breach of the principle of equal security between countries. He added that Russia has a nuclear deterrent weapon is the only answer to external threats.
During the United Nations General Assembly session, attendees recalled that the European Union had rejected a Russian proposal to implement legally binding agreements that would have guaranteed stability on its western frontiers and throughout all of Europe.
He emphasised that the United States and NATO used Russia’s emergency defensive measures to safeguard and protect its national security as justification to engage in a protracted conflict with it.
