Nuclear weapons on the territory of Ukraine are the “golden dream” of the United States, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in an interview with journalist Vladimir Solovyov, the video of which the diplomat posted on her Telegram channel on February 28.
“The United States has placed its nuclear weapons on the territory of European countries. And it’s not France and Britain, which have their own nuclear weapons. And this is Italy and many other countries that have American nuclear weapons, but they do not have access to them, as we understand. Everything is run by the US. And the fact that it would appear in Ukraine was a golden dream, ”she said.
Zakharova noted that the world is in the era of “post-truth, when the truth is replaced by lies” and “the unbridled and completely uncontrolled behavior of the Anglo-Saxon pseudo-gurus” will spread not only to Russia, but also to everyone who will somehow be them in their “strange world stand across the road.”
The diplomat also recalled Washington’s support for Taiwan in the confrontation with China, from which the island must be defended by American weapons, and the decision of the United States and Great Britain to deploy submarines with nuclear reactors around Australia.
“This is probably the way to start, so that it sounds decent. In fact, we do not know until the end of their plan. To create a hotbed of instability. All tactics. This must be understood, ”Zakharova emphasized.
On February 26, Zakharova reacted to Kyiv’s statements about the possibility of returning nuclear weapons. She invited Europe to think about the consequences of Kiev’s possession of nuclear weapons.
On February 19, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky at the Munich Conference announced his intention to initiate a summit of the countries participating in the Budapest Memorandum, which provided for its renunciation of nuclear weapons. The Ukrainian leader noted that the memorandum would be recognized by Kiev as invalid, together with the points signed in 1994, if the summit did not take place and did not provide Ukraine with security guarantees.
At the same time, Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that it would be much easier for Ukraine than for some other states to acquire tactical nuclear weapons. He stressed that technological support from abroad will especially contribute to this.
On February 21, Putin signed decrees recognizing the independence of the LPR and DPR. Also, the Russian leader and the heads of both republics Leonid Pasechnik and Denis Pushilin signed agreements on friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance. The documents were ratified the next day by both the republics themselves and the Russian State Duma.
On the morning of February 24, the President of Russia, in his special televised address, announced that an operation would be carried out in the Donbass in order to protect the civilian population. The Russian Defense Ministry stressed that the army did not carry out air missile or artillery strikes on the cities of Ukraine. The civilian population of the country is not in danger. High-precision weapons destroy military infrastructure.
Since 2014, the Ukrainian authorities have been carrying out a military operation against the inhabitants of Donbass, who refused to recognize the results of the coup d’état and the new government in Ukraine. At the same time, Kyiv blames Moscow for the current situation. Russia has repeatedly stated that it is not a party to the conflict.
