Russia calls on 'Nuclear Five' to cease WMD provocations

Over the past few months, Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin have repeatedly stressed that the use of nuclear warfare would amount to nothing but massive human and material losses.

The Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement on Wednesday urging the 'Nuclear five' states to cease provocations with the use of weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

"We urge other states of the 'nuclear five' to demonstrate in practice their willingness to work on solving this top-priority task and to give up the dangerous attempts to infringe on vital interests of each other while balancing on the brink of a direct armed conflict and encouraging provocations with weapons of mass destruction, which can lead to catastrophic consequences," the statement read.

This message is driven by Russia's postulate on the inadmissibility of nuclear warfare.

"Russia proceeds from the continued relevance of the existing arrangements and understandings in the field of cutting and limiting nuclear weapons, as well as reducing strategic risks and threat of international incidents and conflicts fraught with escalation to nuclear level. We fully reaffirm our commitment to the Joint statement of the leaders of the five nuclear-weapon states on preventing nuclear war and avoiding arms races of January 3, 2022," the Ministry stressed.

In the current geopolitical context, wherein Russia's national security happens to be the target of ongoing threats from the West, the main goal is to prevent the outbreak of a full-scale military clash among nuclear powers.

"Russia continues to advocate for a revamped, more robust architecture of international security based on ensuring predictability and global strategic stability, as well as on the principles of equal rights, indivisible security and mutual account of core interests of the parties," the Ministry concluded.

Since the start of the conflict, the US has been accusing Russia of plotting to use WMDs, but it never obtained concrete evidence to support that claim. 

Over the past few months, Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin have repeatedly stressed that the use of nuclear warfare would amount to nothing but massive human and material losses. 

"There can be no winners in a nuclear war and it must never be unleashed," said Putin on August 1 in an address to the Tenth Nuclear Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference.

Over the past few weeks, the Kremlin warned that based on intel it obtained from Russia's Defense Ministry, Kiev is planning to detonate a 'dirty bomb' on its territory and blame Russia for it. 

On October 25, Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said denying Kiev's plans to create a "dirty bomb" is unacceptable considering the extent of the danger Moscow is referring to.
