Lavrov: Russia is considering using only conventional weapons in Ukraine

"Only conventional weapons," he said, when asked about Russia's possible use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine.

Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN, earlier called statements about the possible use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine a hoax.

According to Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov, Russia's actions in the framework of a special military operation in Ukraine do not pose a threat to nuclear security.
