France and Poland's joint military drills would cause irreparable damage to the nuclear non-proliferation regime, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters. "In the context of the Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, which began on April 27 in New York, I cannot help but note once again that such steps cause irreparable damage to the global non-proliferation regime and hinder the achievement of its goals," the diplomat noted, commenting on plans for joint drills between France and Poland.
