Aguest on Russian state TV said that he believes Ukraine has received tactical nuclear weapons from the West.
The unevidenced suggestion was floated by Alexei Mukhin, head of the Center for Political Information, a pro-Kremlin think tank, on state TV channel Russia-1. He said he believes that the delivery of U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had long lobbied for, indicates that tactical nuclear weapons have already been delivered to the war-torn country.
There is no evidence to suggest that the Ukrainians have been sent nuclear weapons by the West. Newsweek has contacted Ukraine's Foreign Ministry for comment by email.
Zelensky on Sunday confirmed the arrival of F-16s to his country, more than two years into the war launched by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
