Kuleba: Russia must understand that world will not tolerate its nuclear rhetoric

Ukraine calls on all nuclear powers to make it clear to Russia that the world will not tolerate irresponsible statements on the possible use of nuclear weapons.

Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba said in a tweet, Ukrinform reports.

“Putin’s and Lavrov’s irresponsible statements on the possible use of nuclear weapons are absolutely unacceptable. Ukraine won’t give in,” the minister wrote.

He stressed that Ukraine calls on all nuclear powers “to speak out now and make it clear to Russia that such rhetoric put the world at risk and will not be tolerated”.

As reported, Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Ukrainian President’s Office, said that the nuclear-weapon states should warn the Russian Federation about the possible consequences of the decision to use nuclear weapons, since the global doctrine of deterrence prohibits their use for an attack.
