The US, NATO and the European Union are essentially competing to see who can supply more weapons to Ukraine, further escalating the conflict with Russia and threatening a new world war, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said upon his arrival in Luxembourg for a joint meeting of EU foreign and defense ministers.
He emphasized that following the US Congress’ decision last weekend to pass a new bill on aid for Ukraine, “European pro-war politicians want to play catch-up.” “New arms deliveries and billions of euros are on the agenda today,” Sijjarto wrote on his Facebook (a social media site banned in Russia since it is owned by Meta corporation deemed extremist by the Russian authorities).
“Preparations for a world war are intensifying in Brussels,” the minister warned. He said that the US, NATO and the EU are now competing for the right to coordinate military aid to Ukraine, “instead of focusing on strengthening peace and finding diplomatic solutions.” “Preparations for a new world war must be stopped,” the Hungarian foreign minister said.
EU ministers plan to discuss the conflict in Ukraine at their meeting in Luxembourg, in particular the supply of air defense equipment, including US Patriot systems, to Kiev. They will also consider using frozen Russian assets to help Kiev.
Russia to incorporate US nuke scenario in Poland in its military planning
Russia will take into account potential deployment of US nuclear weapons in Poland in its military planning, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, commenting on Polish President Andrzej Duda’s statement on his country being ready to deploy nuclear arms under NATO’s Nuclear Sharing program.
“It looks like Warsaw is deliberately seeking to attract more attention from those dealing with military planning in the Russian General Staff. It would be logical to assume that once US nuclear weapons appear in Poland, relevant facilities will be immediately put on the list of legitimate targets in case of a direct armed confrontation with NATO,” she said.
She slammed Duda’s statement as “provocative.” “Poland’s authorities make no secret of their striving to lean closer on the US nuclear weapons deployed in Europe and are actively using these ambitions in their hostile Russian policy,” Zakharova said. “This has us looking more closely at Poland in our military panning, taking into account threats to Russia that are generated with the participation of this country.”

According to the Russian diplomat, Moscow and Minsk take into consideration the Polish factor when taking additional measures to bolster the security of their Union State.
In an interview with the Fakt newspaper on Sunday, Duda said that Poland is ready to deploy nuclear warheads under NATO’s Nuclear Sharing program. According to the Polish president, he has discussed this matter with US partners more than once.
Russia tests top secret nuclear-capable missile
The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed to RT on April 12, that an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) test had been carried out from the Kapustin Yar range in Astrakhan Region.
According to the Russian military, the Strategic Missile Forces “successfully launched ICBM of a mobile ground-based missile system” from the interservice test facility near Volgograd. The test was successful and indicated “the high reliability of domestic missiles, ensuring the strategic security of the country.”
The type of system tested was not specified. Russia currently uses the RS-24 Yars (known by NATO as the SS-29) missiles as its mobile nuclear deterrent, but has reportedly been developing a successor for this system as well.
The Yars – a Russian acronym for “atomic deterrence rocket” – entered service just a few years ago, fully replacing the RT-2PM2 Topol-M (SS-27) system. The solid-fueled missile is intended to carry multiple thermonuclear warheads and can be deployed from mobile vehicles or silos.
