“I am quite confident that this moment will come, perhaps in the not too distant future, when we will see American tactical nuclear weapons deployed in the UK,” the diplomat said.
Ryabkov also emphasized that Russia will find ways to counter this. According to the diplomat, the United States is wrong to believe that the deployment of nuclear weapons in Great Britain “could become an act of deterrence against Russia.”
