Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister mentioned that the possibility of resuming nuclear testing is continuously being reviewed.
In an interview with TASS news agency reported on the 30th (local time), Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov was asked whether Russia would resume nuclear testing in response to the U.S. escalation,saying,“To speak without any prejudice,the situation is very serious.” “It’s complex,” he said, “and every component and every aspect is constantly being reviewed.”
Also, regarding U.S. President Joe Biden’s request to congress for $24 billion in additional aid to Ukraine,Ryabkov said,”The White House is using every opportunity left for the lame duck president to harm us and prevent us from carrying out the task of special military operations.” “I felt like they were preventing them from doing it,” he said, adding, “But they won’t succeed.”
Last year,Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the suspension of participation in the New START Treaty,which aims to limit strategic nuclear warheads between the united States and Russia. The United States requested Russia to inspect nuclear facilities, but Russia refused and declared that it would stop participating in the treaty.
additionally, President Putin recently approved a revision to the nuclear doctrine on the 19th. Accordingly, Russia considers it a ‘joint attack’ when there is the participation or support of a nuclear weapons state, even if the attacker is a non-nuclear weapon state.
