Nuclear security

No objective reasons to keep tactical nuclear arms in Europe — Russia’s NATO ambassador

There are no objective reasons to keep tactical nuclear arms in Europe, Russia’s Permanent Representative at NATO Alexander Grushko said on Friday. "I am speaking about the practice of the so-called nuclear mission of NATO member countries. This problem is not new. It came into being even before the signing of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) in 1968," he said. "The matter is that US non-strategic nuclear arms are still deployed in the territories of non-nuclear members of the alliance, for instance, in Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Turkey."
