Discussions about the possibility of deploying nuclear weapons in Ukraine are irresponsible, and this is said by those who have a poor understanding of reality, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday, APA reports citing Sputnik International.

Last week, The New York Times reported that some US and European officials are allegedly proposing to return nuclear weapons to Ukraine.

"You know, even the most provocative line aimed at escalating tensions has such an extreme extremist wing. This point of view probably belongs to this extreme extremist wing. This is absolutely irresponsible reasoning of people who probably have a poor understanding, a poor idea of reality, and who do not feel a shred of responsibility when making such statements. But we see that all these statements are anonymous," Peskov told reporters.

To assess the risks of nuclear escalation, it is necessary to study Russia's nuclear doctrine and President Vladimir Putin's statements, as well as actions of the West, the official added when asked whether the Kremlin sees a danger of nuclear escalation after the use of the Oreshnik missile system.
