WASHINGTON, February 7. /TASS/. Ukraine’s admission to NATO and handover of nuclear weapons to the Kiev government can cause World War Three, US Senator for the state of Utah, Republican Mike Lee said.
"Admitting Ukraine to NATO and giving it nukes could … easily start WWIII," he wrote on the X social network.
Earlier this week, Vladimir Zelensky said the West must give Ukraine nuclear weapons and deploy its troops on the country’s territory if it is not yet ready to grant NATO membership to Kiev.
