The head of Russian diplomacy indicated that Moscow watches with concern the rhetoric of the West, which accuses Russia of preparing provocations with the use of weapons of mass destruction.

The minister indicated that the conflict in Ukraine cannot be separated from the debate on strategic stability. “They (the Americans) tell us: we have to talk to the Ukrainians about Ukraine, whenever the Ukrainians want, and for us to discuss nuclear weapons and strategic stability. This is, to say the least, naive,” he said.
