Russia Will Use Nuclear Weapons, Azarov Claims

European leaders do not believe that Russia could use nuclear weapons, and thus they are prepared for reckless actions. This was stated to TASS by former Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov.

"They are planning based on their capabilities, and they do have them, to ensure a significant conventional superiority over Russia and to initiate conflict. They are not hiding this and are even telling us to do this by 2027 or 2030 at the latest," noted the former prime minister of Ukraine.

As emphasized by the former prime minister, Europe must be convinced that "for its defense, Russia has the right to strike preemptively and respond as necessary in the given situation."
