Russia demands withdrawal of American nuclear weapons from Europe
Russia insists that American nuclear weapons be withdrawn from Europe and that all infrastructure for its deployment in this part of the world be dismantled.
As TASS reports, this was stated by the head of the Russian delegation at the Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Andrei Belousov.
"Taking into account the possibility of hitting the most important objects of civilian and military infrastructure on the territory of Russia, the American nuclear weapons deployed in Europe are essentially strategic," the diplomat indicated during the PIR Center seminar. "Therefore, we insist that it be withdrawn from Europe, returned to the United States, and all infrastructure for its deployment on the territory of Europe be dismantled."
