Russia Cautions Against Claimed Nuclear Support for Ukraine
(MENAFN) Russia has issued a stark warning to France and the United Kingdom over what it describes as potential efforts to equip Kiev with nuclear-related capabilities. Speaking at the UN Security Council, Moscow accused the two Western European nations of escalating the Ukraine conflict and risking serious international repercussions.
Russia’s envoy to the United Nations, Vassily Nebenzia, told the council that Ukraine’s European supporters are openly pursuing Moscow’s “strategic defeat” while simultaneously undermining any meaningful path toward a negotiated settlement.
His remarks followed an emergency communication released earlier by Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, which alleged that London and Paris are weighing the possibility of supplying materials, technological expertise, or equipment that could enable Kiev to assemble either a nuclear weapon or a “dirty bomb.”
Addressing the Security Council, Nebenzia stated: “Such plans are not only irresponsible and dangerous but also a direct violation of Article I of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). That is why the authors of this escapade seek to portray Kiev’s acquisition of nuclear weapons as Ukraine’s own development.”
According to Nebenzia, Moscow interprets the alleged initiative as further proof that British and French leadership—excluded from the US-driven efforts to shape a Ukraine settlement—have “completely lost touch with reality.”
He continued with a warning: “Russia possesses all necessary means to respond to such developments. However, we hope that there are still enough sane and reasonable people in London and Paris who will be able to restrain their leaders from such inadequate steps.”
Similar concerns were previously voiced by Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova, who cautioned that any move to provide Ukraine with nuclear capabilities could provoke a direct military confrontation between nuclear-armed states.
Moscow maintains that any transfer of nuclear-related assistance to Kiev would breach international non-proliferation obligations and further destabilize an already volatile security environment.
