"Europe does not recognize that the threat of a nuclear conflict has reached its highest level and is beginning to shake its tepid strategic potential," said Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council.
In a post on his Telegram channel, Medvedev stressed that the "New START" treaty signed 15 years ago in Prague did not reduce the risk of nuclear war due to the actions of the United States and its allies.
"At some point they decided that they could officially maintain nuclear parity with Russia and at the same time wage an undeclared war against us using unlimited sanctions and then their weapons and their specialists."
According to him, the threat of a nuclear conflict has reached its highest level, and the government of current US President Donald Trump recognizes this at least verbally, while European leaders do not. "On the contrary, they have begun to demonstrate their poor strategic capabilities again," Medvedev wrote.
At the same time, he stressed that nuclear disarmament in the world in the next decade is impossible even if the conflict in Ukraine stops completely, adding that the number of countries with nuclear arsenals will increase.
"Even if the conflict over the so-called 'Ukraine' is completely over, nuclear disarmament is impossible in the coming decades," Medvedev wrote, also adding that the creation of new, more destructive types of weapons in the world will continue. (A2 Televizion)
