Russia will view the deployment of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine as a direct nuclear threat to the Kremlin, Putin's foreign minister has warned.
Sergei Lavrov says Russia has privately warned the US, Britain and France of the dire risks of the planned move to give Kyiv the advanced warplanes.
He implied that the use of F-16 - for which Ukrainian pilots are now being trained - could lead to Putin unleashing tactical nuclear weapons.
He said the move was 'just one example of an extremely dangerous turn of events is the United States plans to transfer F-16 fighter jets to the Kiev regime.
'We have informed the nuclear powers, the United States, Britain and France, that Russia cannot ignore the ability of these aircraft to carry nuclear weapons.
'No amount of assurances will help here.'

WNU Editor: When it comes to important foreign policy announcements, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov is the person who always makes them for the Kremlin.
I recall two weeks before the Russian invasion Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov was warning .... correction .... pleading with some of his Western counterparts that Ukraine's new offensive against the Donbas will mean war. But no one listened.
We now hear a new warning from the Russian Foreign Minster on F-16 jets, and his message is very clear. Because these jets can carry tactical nuclear weapons, this will force Russia to upgrade its nuclear defense status. What this means is that every-time an F-16 jet is flying above Ukraine or near the Russian border it will be seen as a platform carrying a nuclear weapon.
Sighhh ....
It looks like we are on a downward path to replicate the Cuban Missile Crisis that is going to be on "steroids". But instead of Cuba and the borders of the U.S, this new crisis will be in Ukraine and near the borders of Russia.
And like before the war, no one is listening to Lavrov.
Update: Ukraine's Foreign Minister has responded .... Ukraine’s top diplomat calls out Russian spin about F-16s being ‘nuclear threat’ (New Voice of Ukraine).

No one listens to him pr putin be ause it's all wind and bluster .
And moving tactical nukes to Belarus WASN'T a "nuclear threat"? Just more propaganda garbage
the usual Russian modus operendi. Declare any new or effective weapon system used by the other side as beyond the pale.
If the Russians could bluster Ukraine into not fighting with tanks, artillery or or AFVs, they would. Russia wants everything asymmetric in their favor.
Medvedev and Lavrov are as popular a herpes.
You all are just asking for it. Typical ukie rah rahs with stuffing in your ears.
The ruskies tell you, hey, don't do this or consider before doing this, but you just dont listen.
Then you get pissed when they are forced to invade crimea and had no choice but to invade ukie land.
Keep it up dummies.
The best example was Putin at the UN several years ago . He was talking about US aid to a group called isis and said the US needs to stop helping them.
His exact words..
Do you realize what you have done?
Those idiots did not listen and when the caliphite almost succeeded taking over the fertile crescent no one could say anything.
The Russians warn you, but it seems, like in the Bible, God has hardened your hearts.
There is no reasoning with you.
7:05 you missed your diaper change.
7:11
I see you have no counter argument or cannot give educated counter points.
Good. My statement is validated by your failure
