The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry pointed out that Washington and its NATO allies are playing with fire, creating the danger of direct armed conflict with Russia.
“Just one example of an extremely dangerous development is the US plans to transfer F-16 fighter jets to the kyiv regime. We have informed the nuclear powers of the US, Britain and France that Russia cannot ignore the ability of these planes to carry nuclear weapons. No guarantees will help here,” Lavrov noted in an interview with Lenta.ru.
The head of Russian diplomacy stressed that the Russian military will not find out if this or that plane has the equipment to launch nuclear weapons. “The very fact of the appearance of such systems in the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be considered by us as a threat from the West in the nuclear sphere,” Lavrov said.
