Russia Claims It Has The Right To Deploy Nuclear Weapons In Crimea



RT: As part of Russian territory Crimea can host nuclear weapons – Foreign Ministry

The Russian Foreign Ministry has no information on nuclear weapons deployment in Crimea, but maintains that the country has the right to do so in principle.

“I don’t know if there are any nuclear weapons there at the moment and I am not aware of such plans, but in principle Russia can do this,” the head of the ministry’s Department for Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Weapons Control, Mikhail Ulyanov, told a Wednesday press conference in Moscow.

“Naturally Russia has the right to put nuclear weapons in any region on its territory if it deems it necessary. We hold that we have such a right, though Kiev has a different opinion on this matter,” RIA Novosti quoted Ulyanov as saying.

WNU Editor: It would not surprise me if there are nuclear weapons already there .... especially on a naval vessel.
