Such Objects Represent a Direct Source of Threat: Zakharova

The presence of American nuclear weapons in Northern Europe will not strengthen the security of the countries hosting those weapons, but rather weaken it. This statement was made by Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The information was reported by RIA Novosti.

During a press briefing, Zakharova stated, “In the case of American nuclear weapons appearing in Northern Europe, the security of the host countries will not only not be strengthened, but will obviously suffer.” She emphasized that other countries on the continent would have to take this into account.

“One does not need to be a military strategist to understand that such objects will directly represent a source of threat and, of course, will inevitably be included in the list of legitimate targets determined by the scenario of direct military confrontation with NATO. And we understand that this is precisely what the actions of the USA and its satellites are forcing us towards,” she added.
