Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, stated that Ukraine obtaining nuclear weapons would lead to catastrophic consequences. According to her, this would create a direct threat to international security and could provoke a global conflict. Zakharova emphasized that such actions violate all existing agreements and international law norms. She also added that these steps could lead to an arms race that threatens stability worldwide. "The Russian Federation considers any attempts to transfer nuclear weapons as a direct threat to its security and will act accordingly," she stated. In the diplomat's opinion, such steps are short-sighted and could lead to unpredictable consequences for all countries.
