Kiev’s plans to acquire its own nuclear weapons pose a threat to international security and Russia could do nothing but act in response, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday.
“Today, the dangers that the Zelenskyy regime poses to neighbouring countries and international security, in general, have increased significantly.
“This is happening after the authorities based in Kiev started dangerous games related to plans to acquire their own nuclear weapons,” Lavrov said at a disarmament conference.
According to Lavrov, Russia has to respond to the real danger posed by Kiev.
“I can assure you that Russia, as a responsible member of the international community, committed to its obligations to non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
“And it’s taking all necessary measures to prevent the emergence of nuclear weapons and related technologies in Ukraine.
“We hope that everyone is aware of the need to solve this problem,’’ Lavrov added.
