A potential Russian "petition" on a preventive nuclear strike could come in response to any initiative to transfer US nuclear weapons to Ukraine, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev opined on his Telegram channel on Thursday.
A petition calling for the deployment of US nuclear weapons on Ukrainian soil was posted on Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s website on Thursday.
Commenting on the petition on Zelensky’s website, Medvedev blogged that the response could, in all probability, take the form of "a Russian petition in favor of the immediate pre-emptive use of Russian nuclear weapons."
