The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Sergey Lavrov, has highly assessed the possible risk of a nuclear war
"There is a high probability that a conflict between states with nuclear power will turn into a nuclear war."

"Report" reports with reference to TASS that Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said this at a press conference dedicated to European security issues.

According to him, the presidents of Russia and the United States made a statement in June 2021 about not launching nuclear weapons: "Because there will be no winner of a nuclear war. I said that even a war between nuclear states is unacceptable. Because if someone decides to start a war with conventional means, there is a possibility that this conflict will turn into a nuclear war.

S. Lavrov said that Moscow is worried about the West's rhetoric regarding Russia's use of weapons of mass destruction: "The West itself, including the United States, Great Britain, and France, is doing everything to increase its direct participation in the war waged by the Ukrainians against Russia. This is a dangerous trend."
