Statements About Providing Nuclear Weapons to Ukraine Border on Insanity, Kremlin Says
13:55 05.02.2025 (Updated: 15:38 05.02.2025) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - In a recent interview with UK journalist Piers Morgan, Ukrainian Volodymyr Zelensky said that the process of Ukraine joining NATO could take years and decades, and to ensure security the West must provide Kiev with nuclear weapons.
Statements about providing nuclear weapons to Ukraine border on insanity, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.
"In general, such statements ... border on insanity. Actually, well, there is a regime of non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and so on and so forth," Peskov told reporters.
Moscow hopes that there are politicians in Europe who understand the absurdity and danger of discussing the transfer of nuclear weapons to Kiev, the official added.
Responding to a question about whether Russian President Vladimir Putin considers Zelensky an enemy, Peskov said that there can be no room for emotions.
“There can and should be no room for emotion here. There is room for legal analysis and absolute pragmatism. You have to be fully aware of what is happening,” the spokesman said.
Readiness for negotiations must be based on something; otherwise, these are empty words, the Kremlin spokesman said, commenting on Zelensky's words about readiness for negotiations with Russia.
"Readiness must be based on something; readiness and desire. It cannot be based on a legislative ban on such negotiations for Zelensky. Therefore, for now it is impossible to perceive this as anything other than empty words," Peskov told reporters.
The dynamics of the special military operation indicate that the interest in such negotiations should come from Kiev, the official added.
"Our analysis, which has been repeatedly voiced by President Putin, suggests that Zelensky has major problems de jure in terms of his legitimacy in his country, but even despite this, the Russian side remains open to negotiations," Peskov said.
