Moscow would never allow Kiev to acquire an atomic bomb, the Russian president has said
Moscow will never allow Kiev to acquire nuclear weapons and any attempt to do this would be met with an appropriate reaction, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said.
Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has claimed that Kiev will need either atomic weapons or NATO membership to ensure its security. He rejected media reports that Kiev stood ready to produce an atomic bomb at short notice, saying that the nuclear discussions were only meant to imply there was no alternative to the US-led military bloc.
