Former US judge Andrew Napolitano told RT that the reported plan of the U.K. and France to give Kiev nuclear capabilities would be “playing with fire.” He said that the recent revelation by Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) about the British-French plans was meant “to remind the British and the French that they’ll be playing with fire… It is inconceivable to me that the Kremlin would permit the Ukrainians to receive any nuclear capabilities,” he said.
Napolitano said that he strongly suspected a U.S. role in the provocative proposal. “The Brits cannot use or give away any nuclear capability, nuclear weapons, or nuclear know-how without American permission. Why [British] Prime Minister [Keir] Starmer would even be discussing this with [French] President [Emmanuel] Macron and with [Vladimir] Zelensky is beyond me unless the United States has already agreed to it,” he argued.
Napolitano, RT wrote, “warned that any attempt to pressure Moscow with nuclear brinkmanship could lead to catastrophic escalation.”
