Russian State News Agency Moscow February 24th, 2023. The Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharchenko stated that the plan of the UK and France to help Ukraine acquire nuclear weapons is unacceptable, which is an action that would escalate the situation.
The Russian Federal Security Service stated on February 24th that according to received intelligence, London and Paris are planning to transfer nuclear weapons to Ukraine.
The Russian Foreign Ministry website published Zakharchenko's comments saying, "All parties involved in such reckless actions, as well as the entire international community, should be clear that raising such issues is absolutely unacceptable, it is an act that seriously escalates the situation, and is highly likely to undermine the international legal mechanism of non-proliferation of nuclear weapons."
