  • Putin: No winners in nuclear war
    The comment was issued in a letter to participants of a conference on the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT)

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday that there could never be any winners in a nuclear war and it should never be "unleashed".

The comment was issued in a letter to participants of a conference on the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT) in which Putin insisted that Russia remained faithful to the treaty's "letter and spirit."

"Our obligations under bilateral agreements with the US on the reduction and limitation of relevant weapons have also been fulfilled," he said.

"We are convinced that all NPT-compliant countries should have the right of access to civilian nuclear power without any additional terms whatsoever. We are ready to share with the partners our experience in the field of nuclear energy," he added in his greeting to the tenth conference of the NTP treaty.

He stressed that Moscow attached great importance to the IAEA guarantee system "as a verification mechanism of the NPT and believes that it is very important to ensure its unbiased, depoliticized and technically grounded use."

Ahead of the Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), Biden stated, "Today, my Administration is ready to expeditiously negotiate a new arms control framework to replace New START when it expires in 2026.

Biden said that Moscow should demonstrate its readiness to resume work on nuclear arms control with the US, and so should China.
