The Kiev regime has gone even further off the deep end in its desperate quest to trigger World War III on behalf of the dying British Empire. Ukrainian Defense Minister Andrii Taran, told Members of the European Parliament in Brussels that Russia was preparing to potentially store nuclear weapons in Crimea. Reuters reports, however, that Taran provided no evidence for his assertion, but said Russia was massing 110,000 troops on Ukraine’s border in 56 battalion-sized tactical groups, citing Kiev’s latest intelligence.
Taran’s claim about Crimea attracted ridicule from Russian politicians. “Taran should not go to the European Parliament, but to the office of a psychotherapist,” said Duma member Andrey Kozenko, reported RT. “Russia really has powerful military potential and, if it wanted to, it could deploy nuclear warheads in Crimea, and Kiev would be the last to know about it.”
Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnyk went even further, openly threatening that unless NATO makes Ukraine a member, Kiev will pursue a nuclear weapons capability. “We must do everything possible to ensure that Putin will not attack us tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. The only possibility for this is for Ukraine to finally become a NATO member. If Ukraine were a NATO member in 2014 ... it would never have come to the annexation and this terrible war in the east,” he said in an interview with Germany’s DLF Radio, reported Unian.
Otherwise, “Ukraine has no other choice: Either we are part of an alliance such as NATO and are doing our part to make this Europe stronger, or we have the only option—to arm by ourselves, and maybe think about nuclear status again. How else can we guarantee our defense?” Melnyk proclaimed.
