“Russia has the right to deploy nuclear arms in the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, which Moscow annexed from Ukraine last year, a Foreign Ministry official said Wednesday, adding that he knew of no plans to do so. ‘I don’t know if there are nuclear weapons there now. I don’t know about any plans, but in principle, Russia can do it,’ Mikhail Ulyanov, the head of the ministry’s department on arms control, was quoted as saying by Interfax news agency.”
