Russia plans to deploy nuclear weapons in Crimea – Deputy foreign minister
The Russian Federation is breaching its obligations as a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), planning the deployment of nuclear weapons on the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine Vadym Prystaiko has said.
According to the official Facebook page of the Foreign Ministry of Ukraine, Prystaiko said this, when speaking at the International Forum "Chornobyl's legacy for the nuclear safety of the world" in Kyiv.
The official also noted environmental threat due to the continued aggression of Russia against Ukraine and said it has already led to the contamination of the territory.
The official during his speech also expressed gratitude to the G7 states and the donor countries of the Chornobyl Shelter Fund, as well as the Nuclear Safety Account for constant attention and efforts aimed at eliminating the consequences of the Chornobyl disaster.
