There will be no winners: Russian Foreign Ministry has issued a statement of nuclear war

Russian diplomats see two hypothetical scenarios for nuclear weapons. The military is inventing new reasons: Ukraine is allegedly preparing to place NATO nuclear warheads. Russia is guided by the postulate of the inadmissibility of nuclear war and is of special responsibility as a nuclear state. This is stated in the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. There can be no winners in the nuclear war, and such a schedule should never be implemented.

The Russian Federation hypothetically allows the use of nuclear weapons only in response to aggression with the use of weapons of mass destruction, Russian diplomats said. Another condition is aggression against Russia with the use of ordinary weapons, when the existence of the state was threatened with the Foreign Ministry.

Russian officials called the current world situation difficult and turbulent because of "irresponsible and unpromising actions aimed at undermining the National Security of the Russian Federation. " According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the main task is to prevent the military clash of nuclear states.

"We urge other nuclear" five countries "in reality to demonstrate to work on solving this priority task and to give up dangerous attempts to squeeze the vital interests of each other, balancing on the verge of direct armed conflict and encouraging provocations with weapons of mass destruction that can lead to catastrophic consequences, "the ministry said.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not indicate what reason it decided to issue such a statement, did not evaluate the circumstances and the level of threat of a possible nuclear war. Russia has confirmed the dedication of the leaders of the five nuclear weapons to prevent nuclear war and the prevention of arms race from January 3, 2022. In an interview with Czech television, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that it is not necessary to be afraid of nuclear war.

"Not sure, I do not want to give an assessment. I think that we do not need to be afraid of it, we should not be afraid of Russia. It is not necessary to be serious about ultimatums and pressure of threats of use of nuclear weapons to fulfill their conditions. These things are not related," He said.

According to the Head of State, it is necessary to build pragmatic relations with Russia, and Ukraine was the greatest mistake of Ukraine that the country has not built a strong security system for decades. We will remind that the head of the Ministry of Defense of Russia Sergey Shoigu invented new accusations against Ukraine. He became aware of the alleged creation of a "dirty bomb" and the placement of NATO nuclear weapons in the country.

Shoigu noted the increase in the NATO military group near the borders from the Russian Federation - since February this year, according to its estimates, it increased by 2. 5 times and exceeded 30 thousand people. The Russian military command discussed the use of tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine, the interlocutors of The New York Times say. Washington is attentive to the threats of Russian President Vladimir Putin to use nuclear weapons.
