MOSCOW (Reuters) – The Kremlin on Tuesday said that the four regions of Ukraine that Russia declared it had annexed in recent weeks fall under the protection of Russia’s nuclear arsenal.
In a call with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: “These territories are inalienable parts of the Russian Federation … and their security is provided for at the same level as the rest of Russia’s territory.”
