Contacts on Arms Reduction Necessary, But Security Issues Comprehensive – Kremlin
According to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, contacts on arms reduction are crucial, but security issues must be addressed comprehensively, considering the current situation. Peskov emphasized the need to prioritize security concerns alongside disarmament efforts.
Earlier, US President Joe Biden called for the elimination of nuclear arsenals and expressed willingness to negotiate with Russia, China, and North Korea. However, Peskov highlighted Russia’s commitment to ensuring its security and managing potential threats.
Peskov dismissed claims of Russia posing a threat to NATO, citing historical context and emphasizing the need for a strategic approach to security discussions. He also addressed Russia’s space program, rejecting accusations of interference in Moldova, and commenting on the BRICS association.
As the upcoming BRICS summit approaches, Peskov highlighted the importance of mutual respect in international cooperation. The Kremlin remains engaged in diplomatic efforts while prioritizing national security in ongoing discussions.
