The United States and its allies are on the verge of an open military conflict with Russia, which would be “a direct armed conflict between nuclear powers,” the spokeswoman for Russian diplomacy, Maria Zajárova, warned on Tuesday.
“By provoking the aggravation of the Ukrainian crisis and unleashing a fierce hybrid confrontation with Russia, Washington and its allies are dangerously teetering on the brink of an open military confrontation with our country, that is, of a direct armed conflict between nuclear powers,” Zakharova said. .
In a comment published on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry, the spokeswoman pointed out that “obviously such a conflict with Russia poses the risk of a nuclear escalation.”
“However, the Japanese ruling party prefers not to notice such a destabilizing policy of its American sovereign,” added Zajárova, whose text is a response to the statements of Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, about the real danger that Russia uses weapons nuclear in Ukraine.
He described as “absolutely unacceptable attempts to misrepresent for propaganda purposes the logic of containment of official Russian comments on nuclear issues” and to present Russia “as a country that threatens with nuclear weapons.”
This, Zajárova added, provokes a special rejection in view of the fact that “currently the main nuclear risks are generated precisely by the boss of Japan, the United States, under whose ‘nuclear umbrella’ the representatives of Tokyo make their provocative comments.”
