He added that China opposes all armed attacks at Europe’s largest nuclear power station and the constant threat of nuclear weapons to be used in Ukraine.
The US deputy ambassador, Robert Wood, accused Russia of “attempting to manipulate the spectre of nuclear conflict” to help win the war in Ukraine.
He said: “No other country is inflicting such damage on arms control nor seeking to undermine strategic stability in Europe.
“No other country has raised the prospect of potential nuclear use in connection with the war in Ukraine.
“No country is threatening Russia or threatening President Putin.”
A former Russian veteran politician Andrey Sidelnikov claims that Putin’s “intention” is to use “nuclear weapons” in the “annexed territory” of Ukraine.
He said that Putin believes those regions are part of the Russian Federation so it is his land and therefore he is not committing “a war crime,” adding, the Russian leader “could not give a damn about people” who live in the annexed regions of Ukraine.
In an interview with the Express Sidelnikov gave a stern message to Russian citizens, he said, “If there is a possibility of leaving the country, it is vital they do so. Those who can fight and act as partisans should do so.”
