Constantin Forentsov, the deputy director of the deployment of deployment and identification of weapons at the Russian Foreign Ministry, emphasised that Moscow did not pose a nuclear threat to Kiev.
As you are aware, the Budapest Memorandum has been approved about Ukraine’s entry into the Treaty on the non-proliferation of Nuclear Weapons as a nuclear-weapons-free state.
The document states that Russia has reiterated its promise to Ukraine not to threaten or use nuclear weapons against nuclear weapons-winning nations. highlighting the fact that this commitment is always kept.
According to local media, he also stated that “Russia has not threatened Ukraine with nuclear weapons and does not threaten it.”
He also noted that Kyiv’s comments regarding the prospect of reexamining Ukraine’s non-nuclear status, which would indicate an effort to acquire nuclear weapons at the expense of the nuclear weapons treaty system, have raised serious concerns.
He explained that recent statements from Kiev regarding the necessity of NATO nations conducting preemptive nuclear attacks against Russia are absolutely unacceptable.
It is significant that following the covert “NATO,” NATO Secretary-General Yenos Stoltenberg stated that using nuclear weapons would have serious repercussions and alter the nature of the confrontation between Russia and Ukraine.
The alliance nations will conduct nuclear exercises the following week, he said in a press conference held at the Alliance headquarters in Brussels last Thursday. He said that the exercises had been planned since last year.
He added that the goal of these actions is to advance world peace and security.
Additionally, he emphasised that the military alliance’s member states are consulting and cooperating regarding the grave nuclear dangers posed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
As for the new military support to Kev, he stressed that the member states will provide the Ukrainian forces to combat the marches launched by Russia.
It is noteworthy that Putin declared in September of last year that he would not hesitate to use any means, including nuclear weapons, to defend Russian lands. His declaration sparked a wave of international condemnation when he announced a partial military mobilisation in the nation to supply the fronts of fighting on Ukrainian lands.
Since then, Western nations, led by the United States, which has been firmly supporting Kiev against Moscow, have confirmed that the Kremlin will face grave repercussions if it considers deploying weapons of mass destruction, while the European Union has issued a global catastrophe alert.
