Russia claims that the nuclear risk is "serious" at the moment, and that if the third world war were to start, then the use of nuclear weapons is an extremely high possibility, and this would bring destruction to the whole world, the statement being made by Sergey Lavrov for the Russian press yesterday.
Throughout the war in Ukraine, there have been various threats from Russia regarding the use of nuclear weapons, but Western leaders have so far stated that everything is a move by Russia to intimidate the West, and this is because the purpose of nuclear weapons is to prevent armed aggressions, not to be their source.
⚡️Lavrov: 'Real risk' of nuclear war.
The risk of a nuclear war should not be underestimated, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told state-controlled media. Lavrov earlier said that if World War III were to take place, it would involve nuclear weapons and be destructive.
