The kremlin admitted using the statement about the possible transfer of nuclear weapons to Ukraine to toughen its position in negotiations

"This is a blatant violation of all norms and principles of international law. Of course, this information from our intelligence will be taken into account and considered by us during the ongoing negotiations", - putin’s spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told journalists, commenting on the unsubstantiated report by russian intelligence about the alleged readiness of the United Kingdom and France to provide Ukraine with nuclear weapons.

The russian dictator, in turn, against the backdrop of the "new intelligence data", accused the "opponents" of the russian federation of trying to disrupt peace negotiations.

"Everyone is doing everything possible to carry out some kind of provocation and break everything that has, let me put it this way, been achieved on this negotiation track", - putin said during a speech at the FSB board meeting.

As reported, Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs refuted the new "nuclear" accusations by russia as unfounded.
