Iran Press/ Europe: "The US deployed its nuclear weapons on the territory of European countries. It’s not France and the UK that have their own nuclear weapons. This is Italy and many other countries that possess the US nuclear weapons but they do not have access to them.
The US controls them there. It was a golden dream that it would appear in Ukraine," she said in an interview with Vladimir Solovyov on the Rossiya-1 television channel.
According to Zakharova, this "unbridled and absolutely uncontrolled conduct of the Anglo-Saxon pseudo gurus" will cover not only Russia but also everyone who will somehow "get in their way". "They didn’t believe us then. That was ten years ago. China is now facing this on all fronts," Zakharova concluded.
Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov also said, "The Black Sea will never become a 'NATO sea' and must remain a sea of cooperation and interaction for all coastal states."
Commenting on Kyiv’s idea of demilitarizing the Black Sea and simultaneously turning it into a ‘NATO sea,’ the Russian presidential spokesman said: "The Black Sea will never be a ‘NATO sea,’ this is a common sea."
For all the littoral states, the Black Sea must be a sea of cooperation, interaction, and security, Peskov stressed. "Moreover, this must be indivisible security," he added.
As the Kremlin press secretary pointed out, "The statement itself [on the ‘NATO sea’] is based on two contradictions." "NATO and demilitarization are two incompatible notions," he said.
