Question: There is ongoing discourse in the United States regarding the potential transfer of nuclear weapons to Kiev. Some of their politicians are expressing such views. While currently, these are merely discussions, it is worth noting that initially, this was the case with other matters as well...

Sergey Lavrov: Politicians, by their very nature, continuously seek to capture and maintain public attention. We have our share of politicians who frequently speak about escalation.

The decision rests with the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. I hold the hope that this is similarly the case in the United States.

Question: There are already considerations there about NATO executing preventive precision strikes on Russian territory...

Sergey Lavrov: This statement was made by Admiral Rob Bauer, an individual who is utterly irresponsible. There are numerous such figures there who have never experienced combat yet adorn themselves with shoulder boards. They are likely attempting to ingratiate themselves, sensing the current political climate.
