MOSCOW, February 26. /TASS/. The deputies of the State Duma (the lower house of Russia’s parliament) have voted to send an appeal to the German Bundestag regarding the potential transfer of nuclear weapons to Ukraine.
"The decision is adopted unanimously. The amendment to send this appeal to the Bundestag of the Federal Republic of Germany is approved," State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin said.
The lawmakers also adopted appeals to the British and French parliaments, the European Parliament and the UN, calling for a parliamentary investigation into reports about the two countries’ efforts to supply Kiev with nuclear weapons and developing the means of delivery. The proposal to include the Bundestag among the recipients of the appeal was put forward by Andrey Kartapolov, chairman of the State Duma’s defense committee.
"As we understand, there were discussions and plans regarding the transfer of nuclear weapons and components to Ukraine. Yes, based on the information, Germany’s leadership, [Chancellor Friedrich] Merz, stepped aside and refused to participate. But he was aware of it, that’s a fact. Let our colleagues in the Bundestag, the French and British parliaments verify all these facts," Volodin said.
