JAKARTA - Nuclear attacks on targets in Ukraine, as well as in France and the United Kingdom, would be considered legitimate and justified if London and Paris provided nuclear capabilities to Kyiv, said Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev at Max.
That was conveyed by Medvedev commenting on a report by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) regarding possible plans by Britain and France to supply nuclear weapons to Ukraine.
According to the former Russian president, this information "radically changes the situation."
"This is a direct transfer of nuclear weapons to a country at war," Medvedev said, launching TASS (24/2).
"There is not the slightest doubt that in this case, Russia must use all weapons, including non-strategic nuclear weapons, to attack targets in Ukraine that pose a threat to our country," he said.
"And if necessary, also to the supplier countries, because they are accomplices in the nuclear conflict with Russia," Medvedev added. "This is a proportional response that is Russia's right," Medvedev said.
Previously, the SVR reported that London and Paris believed that Kyiv's bargaining position could improve if it received a "Wunderwaffe," which in German means "miracle weapon".
The European capital considers it a nuclear weapon or a so-called dirty bomb. According to Russian intelligence agencies, France and the UK are actively trying to secretly transfer European-made components, equipment, and technology to Ukraine, including French-made small-sized warheads from ballistic missiles launched from submarines.
