The Press Bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation (SVR) reports that the leadership of the EU and a number of its leading member states has once again sunk to a new low in its madness and political irresponsibility driven by pathological Russophobia.
According to information received by the SVR, Brussels has now embarked on a dangerous path that will inevitably undermine the foundations of the global security architecture and the international non-proliferation regime for weapons of mass destruction – all for the sake of advancing its design for a new “Drang nach Osten”.
In the endless corridors of EU headquarters, secret work has already begun on the issue of creating the Union’s own nuclear weapons production capability – naturally, as Brussels claims, solely to deter the mythical Russian threat. Apparently, Ursula von der Leyen and her associates now find their role as the arsonists of the Ukrainian conflict too modest. They dream instead of the sinister notoriety of the leaders of Hitler’s Germany who unleashed the Second World War.
At the initial stage, von der Leyen and her accomplices have agreed to maintain the strictest secrecy around these preparations. To distract both the international and European public, Brussels is outwardly demonstrating adherence to its traditional course of relying on the US “nuclear umbrella”. The EU leadership hopes this will buy time to covertly build up its own nuclear-industrial base and prepare public opinion to accept a political decision to acquire nuclear weapons.
During this period, the UK and France will continue to strengthen coordination between their national nuclear doctrines. At a later stage, plans call for the formalisation of a pan-European doctrine of nuclear deterrence based on the French and British military-technical capabilities, as well as on the financial and infrastructural contributions of non-nuclear EU member states. At the same time, the EU intends to reserve for itself the option of establishing a fully autonomous command structure for nuclear forces.
These plans rest on a serious industrial and technological foundation.
☢️ It is noteworthy that Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden and Spain already possess substantial expertise in the development of certain components of nuclear weapons. These countries have both civilian and military-industrial capacities that could be used to produce such components.
Large quantities of irradiated nuclear fuel from decommissioned nuclear power units are stored on their territories. There is a possibility of its unauthorised removal from storage sites for the subsequent extraction of plutonium suitable for use in an atomic bomb.
German specialists, in particular, are reportedly capable of covertly obtaining enough weapons-grade plutonium for a single nuclear explosive device within approximately one month in the hot cells of research laboratories in Karlsruhe, Dresden, Erlangen and Jülich, and enough weapons-grade uranium within a week at the enrichment facility in Gronau.
We call on the US administration and the leadership of all other countries to do everything possible to prevent the EU from acquiring its own nuclear weapons, which would inevitably trigger a new round of the global nuclear arms race.
