Medvedev: Nuclear talks with America are like talking to Hitler

According to RCO News Agency, “Dmitry Medvedev”, the former president of Russia and vice-chairman of the country’s Security Council, said on Monday evening: “Considering that Washington is basically at war with Moscow, the idea of ​​discussing nuclear stability with the United States is ridiculous.”

US President Joe Biden said in a statement on Sunday that the world must continue to make progress towards complete nuclear disarmament.

He emphasized: “The United States is ready to negotiate with Russia, China and North Korea without preconditions to reduce the nuclear threat.” Biden also claimed that there is no reason to stop progress in reducing nuclear arsenals.

According to the report of the Russian network “Rashatody”, Medvedev rejected this offer and stated that Biden made this statement due to the desire to “help his brainless student (Kamala Harris, Biden’s deputy and the candidate of the Democratic Party in the presidential elections of this country)”. “Bulgur”

According to the former Russian president, the proposal is “another example of … the insolence of the United States.”

He added: Think about this: “The United States has launched an almost full-scale and certainly not combined war against us (Russia) and is seeking the strategic defeat of our country… Negotiating nuclear arms reduction with the United States is more useful than negotiating a cease-fire with “Adolf will not be the leader of the Nazis.”

On the other hand, Dmitry Peskov, the spokesman of the Kremlin, recently expressed his doubts about any nuclear negotiations and noted that “without connecting it with other aspects of security, considering that it is an indirect and proxy war against Russia with direct and indirect interference.” Nuclear powers such as England, America and France are doing it, any dialogue about this issue is absolutely impossible.”

Senior Russian senator Konstantin Kosachev also suggested that Biden’s proposals in the run-up to the November US presidential election look similar to campaign rhetoric.

Pointing to the fact that Biden made his comments while congratulating the Japanese institute Nihon Hidankyo, the winner of the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize, he said: “His irrational statements and Biden’s desire to gain a positive opinion on the subject of the Nobel Prize It should hardly be taken as a serious invitation to negotiate.”

Japan’s Nihan Hidankyo Institute, a grassroots movement of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, also known as hibakusha, received the Peace Prize for its efforts to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons and to demonstrate through witness testimony that it must never be done again. used, received nuclear weapons.

Biden’s demand for nuclear negotiations comes at a time when Russia and the United States have the largest nuclear arsenals in the world. These two countries have more than 90% of the world’s nuclear weapons.

Rising tensions between the two countries, especially over Ukraine, have disrupted the Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Nuclear Arms Control Treaty. The New START Treaty, signed in 2010 by Barack Obama and former US President Medvedev, limits the number of deployed nuclear warheads, and is the last remaining safeguard for nuclear weapons.

On the other hand, the current US administration, led by Biden and his deputy Kamala Harris, has repeatedly expressed their desire to extend the Russia-US Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New Start), which officially expires in February 2026.

At the end of September, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York, John Kirby, the White House’s strategic communications coordinator at the US National Security Council, told Sputnik that the country is ready to resume negotiations with Russia on a new agreement and is waiting for a decision. Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, remains on this matter.

This type of diplomacy has come together with continuous military aid to Kiev and the desire to impose a strategic defeat on the Russian Federation.

In addition, the United States continues to strengthen its military presence in Europe, delivering long-range missiles to the region that are being transferred to Ukraine’s armed forces, and plans to deploy new long-range systems, including hypersonic weapons, in Germany. .
