Russia, the USA and other powers declared the inadmissibility of a nuclear war
Five permanent members of the UN Security Council, including the United States and Russia, issued a joint statement on preventing nuclear war and preventing an arms race.
It is published, in particular, on Kremlin sites and Of the White House.
The statement was issued against the background of the aggravation of the situation around Ukraine – the Western states believe that Russia can prepare a full-scale attack on this country. Moscow denies this. At the same time, against the background of a high level of tension, she came out with a sinker about the “guarantee message” of Russia.
As states with a nuclear arsenal, Russia, the United States, France, the United Kingdom and China, as countries with a nuclear arsenal, see their top priority in preventing war between nuclear-weapon states and reducing strategic risks, according to a joint statement released on Monday. The statement also reiterates the wording used during the Soviet-American war on disarmament – “there can be no winners in a nuclear war and it should never be unleashed.” Important features of compliance with bilateral and multilateral agreements in the field of non-proliferation, disarmament and arms control.
“We reiterate the relevance of previously announced non-targeting statements and reaffirm that our nuclear weapons are not aimed at each other or at any other state,” the document also says. It also contains the obligation to conduct “a constructive dialogue based on mutual respect for the interests and interests of a friend in the field of security.”
