The expert explained why Russia once again raised the panic surrounding nuclear weapons as informational noise

Recently, there have been rumors in the information field about the possible transfer of nuclear weapons to Ukraine by France and Great Britain. Experts believe that such statements are most likely fabricated by the Kremlin and the purpose of these reports is nuclear blackmail aimed at intimidating Western countries and justifying Russia’s own failures.

Specialist Oleg Starikov notes that there is no confirmation of preparations for the transfer of nuclear weapons. It is more like information noise, which creates an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty, which is a feature of information warfare. “If Russia had real evidence, it would have provided it to the Security Council and the countries that signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons,” he explains.

Starikov emphasizes that such actions are unlikely, but the global crisis exists. He also reminds that when the Soviet Union collapsed, it was Washington, not Moscow, that actively worked to make Ukraine a neutral and nuclear-free state.

In his predictions of the situation, he points to the activity of the USA in relation to Iran in order to prevent the expansion of nuclear capabilities.
