Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has warned that the presence of US nuclear weapons on European soil is “unacceptable” and that “the time has come for them to be withdrawn.” In a speech to the UN on Tuesday, the Kremlin’s representative accused the United States of creating “insecurity” in the world, both via video conference and in the midst of the Russian aggression against Ukraine.

If Putin is successful in this endeavor, he's got to be the slam dunk unquestionable favorite for the Noble Peace Prize.

Here's how Sputnik puts the story:

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The time has come to withdraw nuclear weapons from Western and Eastern Europe, Russian Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Geneva Gennady Gatilov said on Tuesday. "The time is right to remove nuclear weapons from Western and Eastern Europe and everywhere else," Gatilov told Lebanese broadcaster Al-Mayadeen.

The envoy added that US military bases pose a threat to Russia's security, and Moscow has long demanded that Washington remove these weapons from Russia's borders.

In addition, the Russian diplomat pointed out that the United States will not be able to exclude Russia from the UN Human Rights Council or the UN Security Council. He also indicated that Moscow is not convinced that the looming dialogue will bring the desired results between Ukrainian and Russian officials.

"Contacts have begun between the Ukrainian delegation and Russia, and we hope that these contacts will continue in the nearest future and will serve as the beginning of a political solution," Gatilov told Lebanese broadcaster Al-Mayadeen.

"We support diplomatic means, but this diplomacy must respect the positions of all countries and should be carried out on the basis of equality, which unfortunately we do not see... We do not see the desire of the Ukrainian regime to try to find a legitimate and balanced solution to this problem," Gatilov added.

Of course why should we have weapons there after all it’s not like Russia is attacking any countries or anything.

[ronnie raygun]

If he has problems fighting the Ukraine this should be the right time for the Russian people to rid themselves of these monsters

[pfflier]

Funny, he never did this with any other president in office.

[MtnClimber]

If we launch them does that count?

If Putin is successful in this endeavor, he's got to be the slam dunk unquestionable favorite for the Noble Peace Prize.

He is trying to grab all he can, while Western power is at its weakest.

Yes, the Nobel Peace Prize has become a joke.

[MPJackal]

I thought we removed most of them in the 90’s?

[DoughtyOne]

LMAO

He’s melting down. He’s upping the stakes to fool himself
he’s still in the power seat.

Problem with his power seat is that the suction is too high.

When he flushes, he’s going down the chute.

[Newtoidaho]

Lil Joey retard will do it, as ordered.

[Flavious_Maximus]

Did anyone tell them that the United Kingdom and France are located in Europe and both of those countries have nukes.

What difference does it make if a few of those nukes are made-in-the-USA?

[BusterDog]

If we launch them does that count?

********

Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace

[indthkr]

Russia basically saying we have no business in Europe anymore.

What about French and British nukes?
