That’s true of the latest statement Tuesday, which happens to mark the fourth anniversary of the full-scale Ukraine invasion of 2022. The SVR is newly alleging that France and the UK are plotting to secretly arm Ukraine with a nuclear weapon. Russian sources and state media strongly suggest their belief that this is still just in planning stages, and that several options are being considered, including that Ukraine could be provided with a French TN 75 warhead, currently in the the French Navy’s submarine-launched ballistic missiles.

The suggestion is that the Western allies supporting Ukraine would do anything rather than admit defeat, even the unthinkable.

the Russian government is taking all of this seriously enough for Putin’s office to say it plans to inform the United States about these potential nuclear aspirations of Ukraine and its European backers.
