Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Serhiy Ryabkov said that after NATO nuclear weapons are placed on the territory of Poland, these facilities will "become a legitimate target" for the Russians.
"All those politicians who, for their own reasons, are now keenly discussing such a scheme in Poland and abroad, should understand: a shift in this direction will not add to Poland's security, but the relevant objects will definitely become a target. And in our military planning, they will be at the forefront," Ryabkov said, quoted by the propaganda TASS.
He emphasized that the expansion of NATO's nuclear mission has a "destabilizing and threatening" nature. According to him, the approach of the Alliance's nuclear weapons to the borders of the Russian Federation is exacerbating the threat.
