Russia’s threats to use nuclear weapons in an ongoing conflict amid rising tensions are not worthy of a permanent member of the UN Security Council. Russia will not succeed in undermining international support for Ukraine with such intimidation efforts.
That’s according to a Bundestag lawmaker with the Greens, Robin Wagener, who spoke with Guildhall, Ukrinform reports.
“Putin is a war criminal in his illegal attack on Ukraine. Putin is also the worst oppressor of the Russian-speaking community in Ukraine and Russia and a threat to global peace. The nuclear threatening gestures are not worthy of a permanent member of the UN Security Council,” Wagener stressed.
“The nuclear saber-rattling is part of a perfidious strategy. The Kremlin wants to stir up fears in order to break solidarity with Ukraine. This will not succeed, because once again it is clear that Putin is targeting our shared values of democracy, security and freedom” said the German lawmaker.
As reported earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov indirectly suggested that Russia could use nuclear weapons against Ukraine.
