MOSCOW, Feb 26 (TASS): Lawmakers of the State Duma (the lower house of Russia’s parliament) adopted an appeal to the British and French parliaments, the European parliament and the UN to take measures to avert a potential nuclear conflict and probe into reports about the plans to transfer a nuclear weapon to Ukraine.

"State Duma deputies appeal to members of the National Assembly of the French Republic and the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to immediately start relevant parliamentary probes in their countries whose results should be made public," the document reads.

An impartial probe should become a vitally important measure to support peace and hold responsible the officials who are planning "a gross violation of principal commitments," the Russian lawmakers said in their appeal.

As the Russian MPs stressed, the transfer of a nuclear weapon to the Kiev regime may put the world on the brink of a nuclear catastrophe and "escalate the conflict with a probable tragic outcome on a global scale."

"State Duma deputies call on the parliaments of France and Great Britain, the European parliament, and also specialized organizations and agencies within the system of the United Nations Organization to take urgent measures to avert such a scenario," the document says.
