Putin tells us, Russia can make nuclear weapons – national

Russian President Vladimir Putin He said on Thursday that the United States is making “sincere efforts” to stop the war in Ukraine, and Moscow and Washington suggested to agree on a Nuclear weapons Deal as part of a wider effort to enhance peace.

Putin was talking to his senior ministers and security officials on the eve of Alaska’s summit with the President of the United States Donald TrumpWho presses for the end of the war.

He said in the televised comments that the United States was “in my opinion, in my opinion, very active and honest efforts to stop hostilities, stop the crisis and reach agreements of importance to all parties participating in this conflict.”

Putin said this was “in order to create long-term peace conditions between our country, in Europe, and in the world as a whole-if, in the following stages, we reach agreements in the field of controlling strategic offensive weapons.”

His comments indicated that Russia will raise the issue of controlling nuclear weapons as part of a large -scale discussion about security when he sits with Trump in Ancaorage for the first summit of Russia and the United States since June 2021.

Russia and the United States are largely the largest nuclear nuclear messages in the world. The remaining last treaty between them, which limits the numbers of these weapons, is scheduled to end on February 5 next year.

The new starting treaty covers strategic nuclear weapons – those designed by each side to strike the enemy centers of the military, economic and political authority – and depend on the number of warheads published in 1550 on each side. Both are likely to violate this limit if the treaty is not extended or replaced.

In one of the symptoms of nuclear tensions between the two sides, Trump said this month that he ordered American nuclear submarines to approach Russia because of what he called comments threatened by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev about the possibility of war between the two countries. The Kremlin jumped this step but said, “Everyone should be very careful” with the nuclear discourse.

He added: “It is expected to exchange views on further development of bilateral cooperation, including in the commercial and economic field. I would like to point out that this cooperation has huge, and unfortunately so far is not exploited.”
