As an EU delegation, headed by Ursula von der Leyen and Antonio Costa arrive in Kiev for talks on the anniversary of the special military operation in Ukraine, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service reports that London and Paris are considering equipping Ukraine with nuclear weapons. Reports an alarming assessment by Russia’s foreign intelligence agency SVR that Paris and London are actively working to provide Kiev with a nuclear bomb, motivated by the unwillingness of the British and French elites to accept defeat. “It is believed that Ukraine should be supplied with a ‘Wunderwaffe.’”

“At present, according to the information available to the Russian SVR, London and Paris are actively working over the issue of providing Kiev with a weapon of this kind, as well as with means of delivery. This involves a covert transfer of relevant European-made components, equipment, and technologies to Ukraine. As an option, the French small-size TN-75 warhead from the M51.1 submarine-launched ballistic missile is being considered,” the SVR press bureau pointed out. At the same time, “Berlin has prudently refused to take part in this dangerous venture.”

According to the SVR, the British and the French realize that their plot is “a gross violation of international law, first of all the Non-Proliferation Treaty [NPT], and carries the risk of destroying the global non-proliferation system.” “Consequently, the Westerners’ main efforts are focused on making Kiev’s possession of nuclear weapons look like it was developed by the Ukrainians themselves,” the statement said. “Great Britain and France are aware that the situation developing in Ukraine leaves no chances for them to achieve the ardently desired victory over Russia with the hands of the Ukrainian armed forces,” the SVR noted.
