The State Duma commented on NATO's warning to Russia about nuclear weapons

NATO takes seriously the note from Russia warning of its readiness to use nuclear weapons in an attempt to isolate the Kaliningrad region, but continues to behave more and more brazenly, said Svetlana Zhurova, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs. She shared her comment with Lenta.ru.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, after receiving a warning from Russia about its readiness to use nuclear weapons in the event of isolation of the Kaliningrad region, called on the alliance countries to remain calm and support Ukraine.

“I think they take it seriously. The question is, what will they do to ensure that we no longer tell them something that they don’t like? Because we certainly need to react, otherwise they will enter the territory. Therefore, we need to proactively voice some things to them,” Zhurova said.

“They allow themselves a lot. And we react to them more calmly: it seems like we don’t want to scare them, but they continue to become bolder and bolder. Therefore, as they say, there is nowhere to go.”

Earlier, Reuters reported that Russia sent NATO a diplomatic note about its readiness to use nuclear weapons if it tries to isolate the Kaliningrad region.
