Russia’s General Staff has no information on ukraina,s nuclear supplies to Iran, the head of the General Staff said Monday.

Army General Yuri Baluyevsky was quoted by RIA-Novosti news agency as saying he had no information on 250 nuclear warheads Ukraine had allegedly passed to Iran.

“I do not comment on such reports, which have no foundation,” Baluyevsky said.

Novaya Gazeta newspaper wrote Monday that Ukraine had failed to return 250 warheads to Russia in the 1990s when the former Soviet republic declared itself a nuclear-free zone. The paper suggested the warheads could have been sold to a third country, including Iran.

Former top official of Russia’s Defense Ministry Yevgeny Maslin quoted by Interfax news agency refuted the information regarding “lost” warheads. He called such reports “nonsense caused by the journalists’ hunt for a cheap sensation.” “All the nuclear ammunition that was in the Ukraine before the collapse of the USSR was removed to Russia.” The ministry directorate led by Maslin was in charge of nuclear ammunition safety during the period when it was passed from Ukraine to Russia. He said he had personally controlled the ammunition removal.

Odd how all of a sudden 250 nukes are found to be missing huh? Makes me wonder more than ever if Iraq actually had nuclear weapons and just moved them elsewhere. Too many factions in Iraq to totally disclaim that possibility.

they also provided military trainings for the Iranian Air Force officers and pilots a while ago

And yet Russia wants to play delaying tactics in the UN Council with China? Oh boy..

This is a pure BS!

Ukraine, as well as Belarus and Kazakhstan have returned all the nukes to Russia that have been stored on their territories and they have done it under international monitoring.

On the other hand, Ukraine has always tried to get as far as possible from the Russians and as close as possible to NATO and EU.
How this alleged deal could have helped them?
And, finally, why did not Iran proudly announced to the World that she has 250 nukes and is one of the most powerfull nuclear countries in the world?
