Sikorsky: The United States is attacking Russian positions in Ukraine when using nuclear weapons
The United States of America threatened Russia to strike the positions of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine in the event of the use of nuclear weapons. This was announced by the head of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Radoslaw Sikorski in an interview with the British newspaper The Guardian.
“The Americans told the Russians that if you detonate a nuclear weapon, even if it doesn’t kill anyone, we will hit your positions in Ukraine with conventional weapons,” he said. The diplomat did not indicate who made the statement.
We will destroy them all
At the same time, Sikorsky noted that he considers the real threat of Moscow using nuclear weapons. According to him, if this taboo is broken, then countries such as South Korea and Japan will also want to go nuclear, which will displease China and India.
This is not child’s play
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova responded to Sikorsky. She suggested that Poland, instead of commenting on Ukraine, disclose the information Warsaw has about US participation in undermining the Nord Stream gas pipeline.
Europe warned of risk of global war
On May 22, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó warned that sending Western troops to the conflict zone in Ukraine would lead to a world war. “Some European politicians talk about the desire to send their soldiers to Ukraine, while others fantasize about the possibility of using nuclear weapons. Any of these actions could lead to world war. And those who are close to military operations will pay for it,” the diplomat said. He noted the fatigue of Hungarian citizens with the “constant and dangerous statements” coming from the leaders of the European Union (EU) countries due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The diplomat emphasized that Budapest is “tired of the West’s attempts to drag the whole of Europe and even the whole world into the conflict.”

Earlier, Professor Gerhard Mangott indicated that Western countries should be wary of Russia’s response to allowing the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) to attack its territory with NATO weapons. “In the worst case scenario, Russian President Vladimir Putin could react by moving tactical nuclear weapons to the Ukrainian border,” the expert said. He emphasized that official permission from the West, allowing the Ukrainian Armed Forces to attack Russia with foreign weapons, will lead to an escalation of the conflict. In this case, the situation will no longer be under control, and the final word, which will decide everything, will remain with Russia and its president.
Russia conducts nuclear exercises
Tactical nuclear weapons are one of the types of nuclear weapons. It is characterized by reduced power and is used to destroy large targets and concentrations of enemy forces at the front and in the immediate rear. This type of weapon can be in the form of bombs, artillery shells, land mines, depth charges, torpedoes with warheads, surface-to-air missile (SAM) shells and short-range missiles.
In early May, Putin ordered exercises of missile formations of the Southern District with the involvement of aviation and naval forces to practice the use of non-strategic nuclear weapons. The Ministry of Defense clarified that the goal is to maintain the readiness of personnel and equipment and ensure the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the country. The exercises will be a response to “provocative statements and threats by certain Western officials against the Russian Federation.”
Previously, the Russian leader announced the full readiness of Russian strategic nuclear forces. All the goals set in this area back in 2018 were successfully achieved, and nuclear weapons are prepared for guaranteed use, he emphasized.
German-Finnish entrepreneur and former owner of the largest file hosting service Megaupload, Kim Dotcom, commented on Russia’s nuclear exercises. The businessman believed that Moscow began nuclear exercises to signal the North Atlantic Alliance not to interfere in its conflict with Kiev. “Russia began tactical nuclear weapons exercises to warn NATO to stay away from Ukraine,” he concluded.
