A possible transfer of nuclear arms to Kiev will be an element of a proxy war against Russia, the chairman of the Russian State Duma Committee on International Affairs, Leonid Slutsky, told Sputnik on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said that the UK and France are preparing to transfer nuclear weapons to Kiev.

"Information from the SVR about the plans of Paris and London to transfer nuclear components to Kiev requires the most careful analysis, immediate and adequate response. The transfer of such weapons would not only violate the non-proliferation regime and strategic stability, but would also become an extremely dangerous element of a proxy war against Russia. All retaliatory measures in such cases are strictly regulated by the updated Russian nuclear doctrine. Never forget about it!" Slutsky said.

Claims of the Volodymyr Zelenskyy regime in 2022 to possess nuclear weapons were one of the reasons for the outbreak of the special military operation, the official said.
"We could not allow the emergence of a nuclear terrorist hotbed, controlled by the collective West, right on our borders," he added.
If the European war party, which failed to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, carries out such a transfer, it could spark World War III with no winners, Slutsky said.
