Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, said that his country is concerned about the frequent statements by Western country's representatives on the possibility of using nuclear weapons.

Moscow.- Lavrov talked to the press after today's meeting with his Ukrainian and Turkish counterparts, Dmitri Kuleba and Mevlut Casasoglu, respectively, in the Turkish city of Antalya.

He said that it is “alarming” when the West “continues going back and back” to make references to the use of nuclear weapons and the possibility of the beginning of a third world war. “But we never talk about it”, he stressed.

According to Lavrov, in the context of Ukrainian recent years events, intensified in recent months and weeks, only Western representatives, mainly NATO members, talk about this topic.

At the meeting, the Russian diplomacy head proposed to hold trilateral consultations with the participation of experts from the International Nuclear Energy Agency (IAEA), Moscow, and Kiev, TASS news agency reported.

He also drew attention to the threat that weapons provided to Ukraine by the West could spread later throughout Europe.

Western countries that are providing lethal weapons to Ukraine, including thousands of man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems, are acting dangerously, he declared.

Russian Foreign Minister noted that his country demands an explanation about the US biological activities in Ukraine. (PL)
