"We must fear a second Chernobyl"
On the set of French news channel LCI, Sergei Zhirnov, former member of the KGG, commented on the recent statements by the head of NATO against Russia.
NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg, supports the use of long-range weapons on Russian territory, which has provoked a virulent reaction from the Kremlin.
But for Sergei Jirnov, consultant for LCI:
"Stoltenberg has a cool head, he says, well, the Russians are a nuclear power, fine, but if we tremble every time there is a madman in the Duma or the Kremlin who pronounces the word nuclear, there's no point in going out, getting up in the morning, because for two and a half years, they having been spending their time scaring us."
And Jirnov continues: "the problem is that they're not very careful with nuclear power. That means that they can create a second Chernobyl and that's the problem. There are a certain number of specialists who believe that the Russian nuclear arsenal does not exist, and that it's in a pitiful state".
