Muzhenko: Russia is restoring facilities for the storage of nuclear weapons in the Crimea
Russia is restoring facilities for the storage of nuclear weapons in the annexed Crimea, Channel 5 Ukraine quotes Viktor Muzhenko, the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as saying.
At the same time, he noted that there is no information currently available on the movement of nuclear munitions.
"The building of a military presence in the Crimea probably involves the deployment of weapons of mass destruction; [thus] work is being carried out to restore capacity for storing nuclear munitions. We have in mind the 'Feodosia-13' facility, and conditions for the stationing of strategic aviation at the airfield in Gvardeysk are being arranged," said Muzhenko.
According to Muzhenko, despite the fact that there is no information on the movement of nuclear munitions or nuclear warheads, such work is being carried out.
"This is a demonstration, psychological pressure and, at the end of the day, an opportunity to place nuclear ammunition at these facilities," the Chief of the General Staff stressed.
