❗️The so-called collective West is utilizing the notion of a possible provocation with the use of a nuclear weapon to drum up a larger anti-Russia coalition, Nikolai Patrushev, secretary of the Russian Security Council, has stated.

"The West, realizing that its sanctions policy towards Russia has failed, is searching for additional arguments in order to coax more and more states into a coalition to confront Russia. A possible provocation with use of nuclear weapons, as well as the very thesis of its use by Russia is being used to achieve these goals," said Patrushev.

Nikolai Patrushev also emphasized that Moscow is well aware of the masterminds and potential executors of such a false-flag attack, pointing to the recent warning issued by Russia.
