Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico criticized words of his UK counterpart Theresa May about her readiness to use nuclear weapons.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On July 28, May visited Slovakia and answered affirmatively on the question about her possibility to use atomic weapons if necessary.

"I noticed that UK Prime Minister Theresa May answered 'Yes' without thinking twice on a question about her readiness to use atomic weapons. It is bad. It is necessary to remind people that during the World War II elimination of the entire nations had been prepared and 50 millions died in it. That's why, I would like to hold everyone accountable, when the speech is about strong words in the context of the use of weapons," Fico said, as quoted by the Pravda newspaper.

Fico added that he was worried about the growth of hatred across the world.

The United Kingdom is one of the five internationally recognized nuclear-weapon states, along with China, France, Russia and the United States. London's Trident nuclear deterrent is carried by four British submarines armed with eight missiles, each carrying 40 nuclear warheads.
