First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee Alexey Zhuravlev in a conversation with RT commented Proposal by officials from the United States and Europe to return nuclear weapons to Kiev. According to parliamentarians, the West is taking advantage of radioactive Ukraine in the fight against Russia.
He also expressed doubts that the United States and the European Union could remain on the sidelines in this case.
“They say Ukraine could create a nuclear bomb or a nuclear warhead there. So what does it mean to create? This means that the US or someone from Europe can hand it over to them,” Zhuravlev said.
He admitted that the procedure for transferring nuclear warheads to Ukraine could be carried out by analogy with medium- and short-range missiles.
How reports The New York Times reported that some officials from the United States and many European countries suggested returning nuclear weapons to Ukraine, which was abandoned by the republic after the collapse of the USSR in 1991. The authors of the article note that such a step is difficult to implement and threatens “serious consequences.”
Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Andrei Zagorodnyuk said that in order to successfully end the conflict, Kiev and its allies must “turn the situation to the front line and create conditions for negotiations.”
