Deputies of the Russia’s lower house, the State Duma, adopted an appeal to the parliaments of France and Great Britain, the European Parliament, and also the United Nations, to urgently take measures to avert a potential nuclear conflict, TASS reports Feb. 26. They are responding to a report earlier by Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), that Great Britain and France were working actively to provide Ukraine with a nuclear bomb and the vehicles necessary to deliver it.
A portion of the appeal reads: “State Duma deputies appeal to members of the National Assembly of the French Republic and the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to immediately start relevant parliamentary probes in their countries whose results should be made public.”
It urges that an impartial probe become a vitally important measure to support peace and hold responsible the officials who are planning “a gross violation of principal commitments,” the Russian lawmakers said. The transfer of a nuclear weapon to the Ukraine regime may put the world on the brink of a nuclear catastrophe and “escalate the conflict with a probable tragic outcome on a global scale.”
