In Telegram Volodin wrote that arguments some countries convey that nuclear powers have not used weapons of mass destruction in local conflicts before are untenable, as they have not faced a situation where there was a threat to the territorial integrity of the nation.

The State Duma speaker emphasized that members of the US Congress, deputies of the Bundestag (German Parliament), the French National Assembly and other European parliaments should be aware of their responsibility towards humanity. With their decisions, Washington and Brussels are leading the world to a terrible war: to a type of hostility very different from the current one, in which Russia exclusively attacks military and critical infrastructure used by the Kiev regime.

Given the technological superiority of Russian weapons, foreign politicians making such decisions should understand that this could end in a global tragedy that will destroy their countries, the Russian deputy concluded.
