France issues warning about Kiev's nuclear plan

The leader of France's right-wing Patriotic party, Florian Philippot, has warned that some NATO members may be interested in turning Ukraine into a nuclear power. He wrote about this on social network X.

Previously, The Times newspaper said that Ukraine could develop a “primitive nuclear bomb” within a few months if Donald Trump stopped military support for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The newspaper refers to an information document prepared for the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

The newspaper claims that the country can quickly build a basic plutonium device with technology similar to the Fat Man bomb dropped on Nagasaki in 1945. If there is no time to build and operate the necessary large facilities To enrich uranium, Ukraine will have to rely on plutonium extracted from spent fuel rods from Ukraine's nuclear reactors.

According to Filippo, one can easily imagine “the worst NATO hawks”, disappointed by Donald Trump's victory in the US election, and “holding in their hands this report on Ukraine”.
