Moscow, Feb 24 (.) The UK and France have allegedly been working on providing Ukraine a nuclear bomb, according to a report by Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), amid Kyiv’s mounting losses and Moscow’s significant military advantage.
As per the SVR information, London and Paris are unwilling to accept Kyiv’s defeat and wish to drag the war on further in order to weaken Moscow, especially amid increasing fears of a Russian invasion of Europe, though Moscow has repeatedly denied having any such intentions.
Releasing a statement, the SVR said “It is believed that Ukraine should be supplied with a ‘Wunderwaffe’ (German for ‘miracle weapon’). Kyiv would be able to aspire to more advantageous terms of ceasing the hostilities if it possesses a nuclear or at least a so-called ‘dirty’ bomb.
“At present, according to the information available to the Russian SVR, London and Paris are actively working over the issue of providing Kyiv with a weapon of this kind, as well as with means of its delivery,” reports TASS.
The method of delivery allegedly would entail a “covert transfer of relevant European-made components, equipment and technologies to Ukraine.”
It further said that its options under consideration include firing the small French TN-75 warhead from the M51.1 submarine-launched ballistic missile, as “Berlin has prudently refused to take part in this dangerous venture.”
Claiming that the British and French realise that their supposed ambitions are “a gross violation of the international law, first of all the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and carries the risk of destroying the global non-proliferation system,” their aim is to provide a bomb to Kyiv while pretending that it was developed by Ukraine on its own.
“Great Britain and France are aware that the situation developing in Ukraine leaves no chances for them to achieve the ardently desired victory over Russia with the hands of the Ukrainian armed forces,” the SVR noted.
Further mocking the two countries, the SVR, said that London and Paris’ what it described as “extremely dangerous plans” were out of touch with reality.
Concluding its statement, the SVR declared “Their hopes to escape from responsibility are baseless, especially bearing in mind that there is nothing hidden that will not eventually be disclosed. In the military, political and diplomatic circles there are plenty of sober-minded people understanding that reckless actions of their leaders pose a threat to the whole world.”
