No current threat of nuclear attack on Ukraine - diplomat Chalyi
Diplomat Valerii Chalyi believes that, as of today, there is no threat of a nuclear attack on Ukraine's territory.
He expressed this opinion on Espreso TV.
“According to my observations, there was a threat of a nuclear attack on the territory of Ukraine in March. There is no such threat now. Therefore, it is difficult for me to say how much China's promise regarding the inadmissibility of the use of nuclear weapons is related to other promises. However, we definitely see that there are such statements and Russia will not be able to play nuclear blackmail just like that,” Chalyi explained.
The diplomat is convinced that the transfer of missiles with a range of 300 km or more to Ukraine depends only on the US political decision.
“As for weapons for Ukraine, let's not talk about aircraft, let's talk at least about longer-range missiles. We can also ask for longer-range drones. In this matter, only the US political decision will be enough. No China can stand in the way of such a decision,” he added.

On November 25, The Spectator reported that China promised to do everything possible "to neutralize Putin's nuclear threat." Instead, the US was supposed to oppose Poland's transfer of Soviet MiG-29 aircraft to Ukraine in March 2022.
