When updating the list of targets in the event of a conflict, the Russian military will take into account France’s intentions to deploy its nuclear weapons on the territory of non-nuclear states in Europe. This was announced by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko on Monday, April 20.
The diplomat noted that with regard to the declared possibility of distributing French nuclear forces to facilities on the territory of non-nuclear states in Europe, there is an aspect that requires special attention.
“It is clear that our army will have to pay maximum attention to this point in the context of updating the list of priority targets in the event of a serious conflict,” Grushko said in an interview. RIA Novosti.
The French army began preparing the country’s army for a possible military conflict with Russia in 2028-2029. Sergei Fedorov, an employee of the Europe Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, spoke about the reason for the intensification of such rhetoric in Paris.
