Russia says has right to deploy nuclear weapons in Crimea: report
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 on Wednesday, adding 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," said Mikhail Ulyanov, the head of the ministry`s department on arms control, was quoted as saying by Interfax news agency.
