Russia will take into account threats posed by NATO’s uncontrolled nuclear buildup, as well as UK’s and France’s nuclear plans, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko told Sputnik.
“All potential threats to our country will be considered within the framework of the Russian nuclear deterrent development strategy,” Grushko said.
According to him, the “uncontrolled buildup of NATO’s nuclear potential” will require Russia to “carefully consider the issue in its own military development and planning.”
“The UK previously announced an expansion of its nuclear capabilities, including under anti-Russian slogans. It’s also quite clear who Paris’s nuclear rhetoric and practical actions in this area are aimed at. It’s worth noting that such plans are being developed against the backdrop of the large-scale militarisation of the European continent,” Grushko noted.
