Crimea is part of Russia's territory, and Moscow does not intend to discuss its measures on the peninsula with anyone, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said after being asked about the possibility of placing nuclear weapons in Crimea.

"As far as nuclear or non-nuclear weapons in Crimea are concerned, since Crimea is a region of the Russian Federation, Russia has no intention of discussing with anyone its steps on its own territory that are taken in strict compliance with the norms and principles of international law," he told reporters.

Peskov said this when commenting on remarks made by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in Washington that Russia intends to place nuclear weapons in Crimea.
