Russia will respond “accordingly”<\/em> if the US violates a moratorium on testing nuclear weapons, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, US President Donald Trump said he had ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear weapons testing, citing strategic competition with Russia and China. “That process will begin immediately”<\/em> in response to “other countries’ testing programs,”<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n

When asked about the issue by journalists later in the day, Peskov noted “the statement by [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, which has been repeated many times, that, of course, if someone abandons the moratorium [on nuclear testing], then Russia will act accordingly.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“The US is a sovereign country and has every right to make sovereign decisions,”<\/em> he stressed.<\/p>\n

Responding to Trump’s claims of other countries carrying out nuclear tests, Peskov said “we are so far not aware of this.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“If it is about Burevestnik, then it is not a nuclear test,”<\/em> he insisted. “All nations are developing their defense systems, but this is not a nuclear test.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The Burevestnik is a new Russian state-of-the-art nuclear-capable cruise missile, powered by a small nuclear reactor that gives it a virtually unlimited range. The Russian military successfully tested the missile last week.<\/p>\n

Washington test-fired an unarmed, nuclear-capable Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile in February and launched four Trident II missiles from a submarine in September.<\/p>\n

Russia last tested a nuclear weapon during the Soviet period in 1990. The US halted its testing in 1992 under a Congress-mandated moratorium.<\/p>\n

According to a recent estimate by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the US has 5,177 nuclear warheads, Russia has 5,459, and China is projected to reach 1,500 by 2035.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
