The UK and France are unlikely to follow up on the alleged plan to supply nuclear weapons to Ukraine, the co-host of The Decline and Fall Show believes

The alleged British and French plan to supply Kiev with a nuclear device is primarily aimed at derailing the ongoing peace negotiations and prolonging the Ukraine conflict, Alexander McKay, co-host of The Decline and Fall Show, believes.

On Tuesday, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) claimed that Paris and London have been deliberating supplying Ukraine with nuclear weapons.

Options under consideration allegedly involve a “covert transfer of European-made components, equipment, and technologies to Ukraine” to build a crude “dirty bomb,” as well as secretly delivering a French TN 75 nuclear warhead. The discussions go along with the staging of a disinformation campaign to portray the device as a domestically produced Ukrainian weapon, according to the SVR.

The timing of the plot’s emergence is not random; it is actually aimed at derailing the peace negotiations mediated by the US, McKay told RT on Thursday.

“It’s designed specifically to make sure that the negotiations in Geneva either collapse or become stalled. And it’s a deliberate maneuver by the London and Paris governments to try and make sure that the war continues for as long as possible,” he said. 

The European nations, and Britain in particular, are desperately trying to protect their investments in the conflict and “avoid it being revealed that they have spent so much money… all for nothing.”

Any scenario in which “the Kiev regime [is forced] to concede on territory and on the matter of the rights for the Russian-speaking population in Ukraine” will likely result in its collapse, McKay suggested. 

Paris and London, however, are highly unlikely to actually follow up on the alleged plan and deliver a nuclear device of any sort to Kiev, McKay believes. The British plan all along was to flesh Ukraine into an “outsourced army” geared against Russia, rather than start an all-out global conflict. 

“They have created for themselves an outsourced army out of Ukrainians, which they are now willing to sacrifice in order to inflict as much damage on the Russian Federation as possible. And now the war is going very badly wrong for them,” McKay stated.
