(7 months ago)Russia is willing to conduct nuclear weapons tests if the United States begins such tests”, so it has warned a Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, following US President Donald Trump's order that the US Army resume nuclear weapons testing immediately. “
I want to recall President Putin's statements, which we have repeated many times: If someone withdraws from the mortorium, Russia will act accordingly. President Trump mentioned in his statement that other countries are testing nuclear weapons. So far, we didn't know that some were testing”, Dmitry Peskov said.
According to him, Russia had not previously been informed by the United States of changing Washington's position regarding nuclear weapons tests.
The Kremlin's spokesman explained that the Burvestnik nuclear missile test from Russia on 21 October and the Posedon nuclear energy underwater threat on October 28th were by no means nuclear weapons tests.
At that, President Donald Trump urged American military leaders to resume testing nuclear weapons in order to keep pace with other countries like Russia and China.
Because of testing programmes from other countries, I have instructed the War Department to start testing our nuclear weapons on equal ground with them, Trump wrote on social media shortly before meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinging in South Korea. /Periscope/
