Peskov called Zelensky's words about NATO strikes on Russia a call for world war

The Kremlin spokesman told RIA Novosti about this.

“It is these countries (USA and UK. -

) that de facto direct, direct activities and talk about intentions to protect to the very end.

Therefore, it is they who are responsible and should be held accountable for the actions and statements of this person and this regime,” he said.

Earlier, Zelensky said that NATO countries should launch preemptive strikes against Russia to prevent Moscow from using nuclear weapons.

The Kremlin has repeatedly noted that Russia can use nuclear weapons only in accordance with the provisions of its nuclear doctrine.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the inadmissibility of nuclear war is Russia's principled position.
