Moscow, February 24 (Xinhua) – Paris and London's intention to transfer nuclear weapons to Kyiv is a flagrant violation of international law and will be taken into account in settlement negotiations, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday.
"You've already heard our parliament's calls for our colleagues in England and France to take action for parliamentary investigations. This is a flagrant violation of all norms and principles, and relevant international law," said D. Peskov, commenting on a report by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) that Paris and London are actively working to provide Kyiv with a nuclear bomb and the means to deliver it.
According to the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), Great Britain and France recognize that the current situation in Ukraine leaves no chance of achieving victory over Russia. The political elites of these countries believe that "Kyiv will be able to claim more favorable terms for ending the hostilities if it possesses a nuclear bomb or at least a so-called 'dirty' bomb," the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) report notes.
According to the SVR, the matter concerns the covert transfer of European components, equipment, and technologies to Kyiv in this area. Specifically, the transfer of a French small-sized warhead "TN75 from the M51.1 submarine-launched ballistic missile" is being considered. Furthermore, the plan is to present the case in such a way that "Kyiv's acquisition of nuclear weapons appears to be the result of Ukrainian development."
In response to the SVR statement, the Russian Federation Council called for an investigation of these plans at the international and national levels. Russian senators proposed that the UN Security Council, the IAEA, and the Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons conduct their mandated investigations into these intentions of London and Paris.
