"There is a global nuclear order in the world, the destruction of which Russia fears" - international security expert Yizhak

He said this on Espreso TV. 

"There is a global nuclear order in the world, which consists of a whole series of documents, the basis of which is the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. There are also many other political documents that create a certain regime of the global nuclear order. It consists in the fact that these countries use nuclear weapons only to clarify relations between themselves and cannot use them for colonial conquests. This treaty was signed by almost 200 countries, of which only five are officially nuclear, and the rest are non-nuclear, so they refused and continue to refuse for the sake of the future of this planet," the international security expert said. 

Oleksii Yizhak noted that if nuclear weapons start to be used to seize territories, half of the countries will have nuclear weapons by the end of the century. Accordingly, if Russia uses nuclear weapons, the obligations signed by 200 countries will be destroyed. It will also lose the last exclusivity it had, namely the exclusivity on nuclear weapons. It will turn out that Japan, South Korea, and Ukraine will also become nuclear states and no past obligations will apply.

"No one knows what will happen beyond this border if the global nuclear order collapses. And Russia is actually afraid of this, so it is precisely because of these fears that such strange steps are taken with annexation. And to make the blackmail convincing, the Kremlin is trying to push it into the framework of the global nuclear order, which provides that a nuclear country can defend itself, but cannot wage colonial wars with these weapons. That is why Russia is trying to convince the world that it will defend its own territory, and not seize another. However, no one will believe in that. In view of how decisively and for a long time Putin talks about this, it is necessary to leave percentages of the probability of such nonsense that he may dare to do," Yizhak noted.
