The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) stated on February 24 that the UK and France believe the Ukrainian army cannot defeat Russia, and therefore advocate providing Ukraine with a "miracle weapon." They believe that if Ukraine had an atomic bomb or at least a "dirty bomb," it could secure more favorable conditions in negotiations to end the conflict.

The Russian intelligence agency even provided very specific technical proposals, stating that the UK and France are considering secretly transferring relevant components, equipment, and technology. One option is the compact TN-75 nuclear warhead used in the French M51.1 submarine-launched ballistic missile. The statement also specifically mentioned that Germany has "wisely refused to participate in this dangerous adventure."

Russian authorities pointed out that the UK and France clearly know this action seriously violates the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, so their main efforts are to make the matter of Ukraine acquiring nuclear weapons appear as if it were independently developed by Ukraine.

In response to Russia's heavy accusations, the relevant parties reacted immediately:

Official Russian: Putin's press secretary Peskov called it "very dangerous information" and said it would be considered in negotiations;

Russian Federal Security Council Deputy Chairman Medvedev warned that this move would "directly trigger a world war."

The UK explicitly denied Russia's accusations, calling them "completely baseless" and an attempt by Russia to divert attention.

France has not made an official response to this yet.

Ukraine: The official did not directly respond to this accusation, but has previously expressed disappointment regarding nuclear security guarantees.

At present, this is a sensitive message. The claim that "the UK and France are providing nuclear weapons to Ukraine" may be a high-intensity information warfare campaign initiated by Russia, aimed at shaping narratives, pressuring opponents, and seizing the public opinion high ground. Although all parties have categorically denied it, this move truly exposes the fact that as the conflict continues, psychological and public opinion wars around "red lines" and "bottom lines" are constantly intensifying. There is no doubt that this will increase the risk of escalating the war's intensity,
