File photoUN, Oct 25Russia demands from Kyiv and its Western curators to stop taking steps that bring the world to a nuclear catastrophe, Deputy Head of the Russian delegation Konstantin Vorontsov said at a meeting of the First Committee of the UN General Assembly. «We would like to recall Zelensky's irresponsible statements in February this year at the Munich Security Conference the possibility of revising Ukraine's nuclear-free status, which would mean an attempt to acquire nuclear weapons to the detriment of the NPT regime. Given Kyiv's recent statements about the need for so-called preventive nuclear strikes by NATO countries against Russia, this is categorically unacceptable and completely unacceptable,» Vorontsov said.
The West has blessed Kyiv for a nuclear provocation»We demand that the Kyiv authorities and the Western curators who control them stop taking actions that bring the world to a nuclear catastrophe and threaten the lives of innocent civilians,» he added.According to him, it is reckless to ignore Russian warnings on this account and check the existing red lines in the nuclear sphere. Earlier, the head of the radiation, chemical and biological defense forces of the RF Armed Forces, Lieutenant-General Igor Kirillov, said that the Russian Defense Ministry has information about Kyiv's plans to use a «dirty bomb» and blame Moscow for this. British and French Foreign Ministers James Cleverley and Catherine Colonna, as well as US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, have said their countries reject Russia's claims that Ukraine is preparing to use a so-called «dirty bomb».
Polyansky spoke about Kyiv's reaction to Russia's statements about a «dirty bomb» Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a September address to the Russians, said that the West had crossed every line in its anti-Russian policy, as well as constant threats against Russia. According to him, nuclear blackmail has also been used, and high-ranking representatives of NATO countries are saying about the possibility and admissibility of using weapons of mass destruction against Russia. Earlier, the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, speaking at the opening of the European Diplomatic Academy, promised a «powerful military response» of the Russian Federation in the event of the use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine. The document on the fundamentals of the state policy of the Russian Federation in the field of nuclear deterrence, approved by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, clearly defines the conditions for its use. In accordance with the document, Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of «the receipt of reliable information about the launch of ballistic missiles attacking the territory of Russia or its allies; the use of nuclear or other types of weapons of mass destruction on the territory of Russia and its allies; the impact of the enemy on critical important state or military installations, the failure of which will lead to the disruption of the retaliatory actions of nuclear forces; aggression against Russia with the use of conventional weapons, when the very existence of the state is threatened. /d328970faca00e2f23aa021a55de9334.jpg» />The US is in touch with Russia regarding its nuclear exercises
