Russia warns of high risk of nuclear conflict amid Ukraine tensions

Russian Deputy Minister warns the world.

According to the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, the risk of direct military confrontation between nuclear states is relatively high today. Sergey Ryabkov also warns that Russia will not leave the recent attack on Crimea unanswered.

Many reports from Russian media and government officials are likely not authentic. Such reports may be elements of an information war from the Russian Federation.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov recently participated in a meeting chaired by Russian President Vladimir Putin dedicated to operational issues, including the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.

The high-ranking Russian diplomat urged the United States to pay attention to ongoing discussions about possible changes to Moscow's nuclear doctrine to adapt to changing international relations conditions.

We have concluded that it is necessary to consider what next and how to minimise the risk of direct confrontation. The conversation on this topic should continue - explains Ryabkov.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov also mentioned in an interview with Izvestia that Moscow does not rule out cooling diplomatic relations with some Western countries if they do not change their "Russophobic" approach to their country.

The risk of direct military confrontation between nuclear states is quite high today - warned Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov.

Ukrainian attack on Crimea. Will there be retaliation?

The Russian official also referred to the recent Ukrainian attack on Crimea. Let us remind you that at least five people died, and more than 140 were injured after a missile exploded over a crowded beach near Sevastopol.

Washington is conducting a hybrid war against Russia and has essentially become a party to the conflict. The attack on Crimea will not go unpunished - explains Ryabkov.

Sevastopol, a port city on the Black Sea and a naval base on the Crimean Peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014 is regularly under Ukrainian fire.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in a post on social media, called on supporting countries to help Ukraine conduct further attacks on Russian soil.
