The issue of resuming nuclear tests is facing the Russian Federation against the backdrop of the US escalation course. This was stated in an interview with TASS, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia Sergey Ryabkov, answering the question of whether Moscow is allowed to resume nuclear tests in response to the US escalation course.

Speaking about the possibility of exchanging nuclear blows, Ryabkov said that this danger exists, but the Russian Federation will “make a maximum in order to avoid the implementation of this catastrophic scenario.”
“But in this case, not everything depends on us. The key question is how our opponents will behave, whether they will continue to move in the direction of those scenarios that are described in the military doctrine of the Russian Federation, in the foundations of state lords. So far, to Unfortunately, the movement goes in this direction.
At the same time, the Russian diplomat expressed the hope that the signals of the Russian Federation, “both verbal and material, nevertheless, somewhere, in some corridors of power, in some offices, in some American bunkers are perceived at least by anyone -Tho, and not just blessed like some propaganda. ” “This is not propaganda, this is a harsh reality that they should perceive just such,” he emphasized.
Commenting on the continuation of the strike by American missiles on the territory of Russia, the deputy minister said that “they hear us in the West, but they don’t want to listen.” “This is a key problem. We have all the necessary means to counteract these blows (…) We have large -scale anti -aircraft means to enjoy our opponents, since they do not understand any other arguments,” he said.
“Russia tests will pass in any case. But whether our opponents will be tested, who are raptily engaged in the inflating of bets and playing them, I have great doubts,” Ryabkov turned out.
