Lavrov 'It's High Time That US Nuclear Weapons Were Returned Home'

It is high time that US nuclear weapons were returned home and the related infrastructure in Europe, totally dismantled, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in a video address to the Disarmament Conference.

"We find it unacceptable that US nuclear weapons remain on the territory of a number of European countries in circumvention of fundamental provisions of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. The faulty practice of joint nuclear missions involving non-nuclear NATO countries still persists. Scenarios for using nuclear weapons against Russia are simulated within their framework," he added.
