Russia rejected Trump’s nuclear claim

According to Isna, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told reporters on Thursday: “Donald Trump’s statements about the agreement that Russia, the United States and China were close to on nuclear disarmament are not true.”

“It is clear that the efforts of the Trump administration to bring Chinese representatives to the negotiating table with us on the same issue have failed,” Sputnik News agency reported, quoting the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister.

“We were close to an agreement to get rid of nuclear weapons,” Donald Trump, the former US president and the candidate of the Republican Party in the 2024 US presidential election, said in an interview with famous American comedian Andrew Shultz on Wednesday. I am talking about Russia, ourselves and China. We then wanted to include other countries in this agreement.

Sergei Ryabkov continued his statement by stating that there will be no negotiations on the renewal of the “New Start” arms control treaty, and added: “Currently, there is no basis for negotiations with the United States on strategic stability because of the hostile and anti-Russian policy of the United States and its allies. It is followed in Europe.”

He emphasized: Until these policies are changed, negotiations regarding the extension of the “New Start” arms control treaty will not be held.

In the end, Ryabkov said: The meeting of the representatives of the five countries with nuclear weapons in the form of P5 will be held in the next two weeks on the sidelines of the first meeting of the UN General Assembly Committee in New York.
