Even with the complete cessation of the conflict in Ukraine, nuclear disarmament in the coming decades is impossible. This point of view was expressed by the deputy head of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev.
“The situation is such that even with the complete cessation of the conflict around the so -called” Ukraine “nuclear disarmament in the coming decades is impossible. The world will create new, more destructive types of weapons, and new countries will gain nuclear arsenals,” the Russian politician wrote in his Telegram channel.
He recalled that 15 years ago in Prague the START-III agreement was signed (an agreement between Russia and the United States of America on measures to further reduce and limit strategic offensive weapons).
The contract, according to Medvedev, did not lead to a decrease in the risk of nuclear war.
“The position of the United States and its allies is to blame. At some point, they decided that it was possible to formally maintain nuclear parity with Russia and at the same time wage an outsarous war against us using the endless sanctions and then their weapons and specialists. This put the world before the threat of the beginning of the Third World War,” the politician noted that the administration of the former US President Joe Bayden “insisted on the fact that he” insisted on the fact of that there is no threat of a nuclear conflict. “” This was a cynical lies: the threat reached the highest degree, “Medvedev emphasized.
The deputy head of the Security Council of the Russian Federation also drew attention to the fact that the current US administration led by Donald Trump, despite the record military expenses, already recognizes the presence of a nuclear threat, while the European authorities, on the contrary, began to shake their meager strategic potentials. “
