Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said that “Russia did not intend and is not going to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine,” Moscow, he added, has stated this repeatedly.
“None of the leaders of our country mentioned the possibility of resorting to weapons of mass destruction,” the ambassador said in a commentary for Newsweek.
According to Antonov, Western countries do not respond to Russian warnings that Ukraine may be preparing a provocation with a “dirty bomb”.
The ambassador complained that instead of exerting pressure “on the Ukrainian wards who have finally lost their minds,” Western countries are helping them, “becoming, in fact, sponsors and accomplices of nuclear terrorism.”
