"No one will ask them. We'll have to stick nuclear weapons in there, they will. So he needs to somehow really weigh his capabilities and importance in the international arena, even as a member of NATO. They are like consumables and that's why they are needed to die first, for example," the deputy said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

"How will we react? We will aim even more carefully if necessary, because, so to speak, our rocket men will have to show their class, and we will destroy all this ammunition before they are going to use it," Kolesnik concluded.
