Lavrov Warns About Placing Nuclear Weapons on British Soil

A report in TASS quotes Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s comments on reports that the U.S. is planning to deploy nuclear weapons on British soil. “We have heard such reports, and we are looking into their origin and authenticity,” he told a news conference. “We consider all the nuclear weapons of these three NATO nations (the United States, United Kingdom, and France—TASS) a single nuclear arsenal and build our plans for ensuring Russia’s security correspondingly. The configuration of this arsenal may change but the essence doesn’t. I can assure you that we are taking this into account in our planning,” Lavrov stressed.
