The idea of providing Ukraine with nuclear arms comes from the \u201cextremist flank\u201d of the country\u2019s backers, Dmitry Peskov has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

The idea of providing Ukraine with nuclear weapons comes from the \u201cextremist flank\u201d<\/em> of Kiev\u2019s Western backers, who have lost touch with reality, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.<\/p>\n

The New York Times reported last week that EU and American officials have suggested that outgoing US President Joe Biden could give Ukraine nuclear arms as a \u201csecurity guarantee.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u201cThat would be an instant and enormous deterrent,\u201d<\/em> the paper claimed, acknowledging that such a move would be \u201ccomplicated and have serious implications.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Commenting on the report on Tuesday, Peskov said: \u201cYou know, even the most provocative line aimed at escalating tensions has a fringe extremist flank. This idea probably comes from this fringe extremist flank.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Russian presidential spokesman described the suggestion of transferring nuclear weapons to Ukraine as \u201cabsolutely irresponsible deliberations by people, who probably have a poor understanding\u2026 of reality, and who do not feel a shred of responsibility\u201d<\/em> for the consequences of their proposals.<\/p>\n

Peskov also noted that \u201call of these statements are anonymous.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Moscow is concerned that the \u201coutgoing administration in Washington continues to pursue the route of further escalation,\u201d<\/em> the spokesperson added.<\/p>\n

US lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene has also slammed the idea of providing Kiev with nuclear weapons, arguing that it would be \u201cinsane and completely unconstitutional, possibly an act of treason.\u201d<\/em> In a post on X on Tuesday, the representative for Georgia wondered whether the Biden administration is \u201ctrying to start a nuclear war and use it as the reason to stop the transfer of power to [President-elect Donald] Trump.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Last week, Russia formally updated its nuclear doctrine, allowing for a nuclear response to a conventional attack by a non-nuclear state supported by a power that possesses weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n

Moscow also fired its new Oreshnik medium-range hypersonic ballistic missile against a Ukrainian military industrial facility in response to Kiev\u2019s use of US- and UK-made long-range weapons for attacks on internationally recognized Russian territory. Kiev\u2019s strikes came after it received the greenlight from Washington.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the attacks deep into Russia have moved the Ukraine conflict to a global level, as Kiev could not have carried them out without the assistance of NATO states.<\/p>\n
