Kremlin understands that conflict with NATO may involve use of nuclear weapons - diplomat Khara

He said this on the air of the "Espresso" TV channel.

"Despite the craziness that reigns in the Kremlin, how they almost won in Ukraine, the Russian military understands that if they cannot deal with Ukraine by conventional methods, then a conflict with NATO may involve the use of nuclear weapons. In Europe, there are France and Britain, which can answer the Russian Federation, regardless of Washington. There are still 5 countries that have American nuclear weapons on their territory and according to the program can use them in the event of a conflict with NATO. I'm not talking about the USA," Khara noted.

According to him, Russia scares with nuclear weapons and their placement on the territory of Belarus.

"This will change the security situation in Northern and Western Europe. I think their madness is not enough to start World War III," Hara said.
