MOSCOW, March 1. /TASS/. Russia considers the presence of US nuclear weapons in a number of European states unacceptable, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in his video address to the Geneva conference on disarmament, adding that the US nuclear weapons must have long been returned back to American soil.

“It is unacceptable for us that US nuclear weapons still remain in a number of European states in contradiction to the basic points of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The bad practice of joint nuclear missions with the participation of non-nuclear NATO states continues. During such missions, the use of nuclear weapons against Russia is being practiced,” he noted. “US nuclear weapons must have long been returned home, and the corresponding infrastructure in Europe must have long been eliminated.”
The Minister underscored that Russia has always believed that there could be no winners in a nuclear war and that such war must never happen.
“This principle has been confirmed in the June 16, 2021, joint statement of the presidents of Russia and the US, as well in the June 28, 2021, joint statement of the heads of Russia and China. It is important that, under Russia’s initiative and with its most active participation, a joint statement of leaders of the five nuclear powers was developed and adopted on January 3 about prevention of nuclear war and prevention of an arms race,” Lavrov added.
Lavrov says it’s necessary to stop Ukraine from turning into ‘anti-Russia’
According to Sergey Lavrov, the main thing is to stop the attempts of the placeholders, who illegally seized power, to betray the vital interests of the Ukrainian people
“The main thing is to stop the attempts of the placeholders, who illegally seized power, to betray the vital interests of the Ukrainian people and, in order to please the West, turn their country into an ‘anti-Russia’ as the meaning of their existence,” the minister said at a session of the UN Human Rights Council, speaking by a video link. “The real hysteria observed today in NATO and the EU only confirms that it was the creation of an ‘anti-Russia’ that was and remains the goal of the US and all its allies lined up by Washington.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 21 said Russia recognized independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics. Treaties of friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance were signed with their leaders. On the morning of February 24 Putin said that, amid a strong escalation of the situation in Donbass and in response to a request by the heads of the Donbass republics, he had made a decision to carry out a special military operation. He stressed that Moscow had no plans of occupying Ukrainian territories, but aims to demilitarize and denazify the country. The Russian Defense Ministry said that Russian troops are not targeting Ukrainian cities, but are incapacitating Ukrainian military infrastructure, therefore there are no threats to the civilian population.
