Russian military planners will respond to France\u2019s new forward nuclear deterrence strategy, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

Russia will respond to efforts by European NATO members to build up their nuclear war capacity, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has told TASS.<\/p>\n

The Russian diplomat was referring to the new \u201cforward nuclear deterrence strategy\u201d<\/em> unveiled by French President Emmanuel Macron in March. Under the plan, France aims to expand its atomic arsenal and move its nuclear weapons to other European NATO states as part of \u201ccircumstantial deployments.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cParis\u2019 false slogans about strengthening its allies\u2019 security are leading to exactly the opposite [results],\u201d<\/em> Ryabkov said. Nations that would host French nuclear weapons on their territory would come \u201cunder closer scrutiny of our military responsible for strategic deterrence,\u201d<\/em> he stated, adding that \u201cthe general security level of those nations would\u2026 not increase.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Moscow \u201ccannot ignore an obvious buildup of the nuclear component of NATO\u2019s joint potential,\u201d<\/em> the deputy foreign minister stated.<\/p>\n

France to expand nuclear arsenal \u2013 Macron<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Last month, Macron and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced deepening military cooperation, citing the alleged \u2018Russian threat\u2019. The French president did not rule out deploying nuclear-capable aircraft to Polish territory. A few days later, Polish media reported that Warsaw and Paris were planning joint military exercises involving simulated conventional and nuclear strikes on Russia and Belarus.<\/p>\n

In March, the Finnish government also announced it would seek to amend the national legislation to allow for importing and hosting nuclear devices for \u201cdefense purposes.\u201d<\/em> The Kremlin warned at the time that the step would only lead to an escalation of tensions and prompt a response from Russia.<\/p>\n

Ryabkov described both the potential French-Polish drills and the Finnish government\u2019s plans as \u201celements of a general process of accelerated militarization of Europe openly aimed against our country.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Moscow has stated that it has no intention of attacking any NATO nation, but warned that it would aim its nuclear arsenal at countries hosting such weapons directed at Russia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
