It became aware of plans to use nuclear weapons at the eastern borders of Russia.

Director of the Department of Non-Proliferation and Arms Control of the Russian Foreign Ministry Vladimir Yermakov, in an interview with the RIA Novosti news agency, said that the United States is preparing to use nuclear weapons at the eastern borders of the Russian Federation.

“Some countries dependent on Washington pretend that nothing is happening, or they are simply afraid to even think about the provocation that in the 21st century Europe is preparing for the use of nuclear weapons”, - declared Yermakov.

What particular countries are being discussed, so far remains unknown, however, it became known earlier that the United States of America deployed around 180 nuclear warheads in Europe, in particular, we are talking about such countries as Germany, Belgium, Italy, etc.

According to analysts, at this point the United States is taking all measures to put the maximum political and military pressure on Russia, especially considering the fact that Russia refused to launch a preemptive nuclear strike.
