Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, has commented on the notion of supplying Ukraine with nuclear weapons, attributing it to an "extremist flank" among the Western supporters of Ukraine who have lost touch with reality.
A recent report by The New York Times indicated that both EU and American officials have proposed that outgoing US President Joe Biden could provide Ukraine with nuclear arms as a "security guarantee." The article, authored by four reporters and based on anonymous sources, stated, “That would be an instant and enormous deterrent,” while recognizing that such an action would be "complicated and have serious implications."
In response to this report, Peskov remarked: “You know, even the most provocative line aimed at escalating tensions has a fringe extremist flank. This idea probably comes from this fringe extremist flank.” He further characterized the proposal to transfer nuclear weapons to Ukraine as a product of “absolutely irresponsible deliberations by people, who probably have a poor understanding… of reality, and who do not feel a shred of responsibility” for the potential consequences.
Additionally, Peskov highlighted that “all of these statements are anonymous.”
Moscow expresses concern over the “outgoing administration in Washington continues to pursue... further escalation,” the spokesperson added.
U.S. lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene has criticized the suggestion of granting nuclear weapons to Ukraine, calling it “insane and completely unconstitutional, possibly an act of treason.” On X, she questioned whether the Biden administration was “trying to start a nuclear war and use it as the reason to stop the transfer of power to [President-elect Donald] Trump.”
Last week, Russia officially revised its nuclear doctrine to allow for a nuclear response to conventional attacks by non-nuclear states backed by nuclear powers. In retaliation for Ukraine's use of U.S. and U.K.-made long-range weapons against recognized Russian territory, Moscow launched its new Oreshnik medium-range hypersonic ballistic missile at a Ukrainian military industrial site. The strikes from Ukraine were made possible after receiving approval from Washington.
Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the deep strikes into Russia have escalated the Ukraine conflict to a global scale, asserting that Ukraine could not have conducted such attacks without NATO support. “We consider ourselves entitled to use our weapons against military facilities of those countries that allow the use of their weapons against our facilities,” Putin warned.
