President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s proposal to provide nuclear weapons to Ukraine is not serious, according to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

In his opinion, the world needs fewer nuclear countries.

“I don’t think anybody would consider that a serious proposal from them, I don’t think arming them with nuclear weapons is a solution. I haven’t heard him (Zelensky) say that, so if he is saying that, I don’t think it’s a realistic demand”, - said Rubio.

As he added, “we need fewer nuclear countries, not more, and that giving Ukraine nuclear weapons would not solve the problem”.
