day 162 of war in Ukraine.

The Secretary of State of the United States, Antony Blinken, has criticized Russia during the tenth Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, which began on Monday, for participating in a “reckless and dangerous nuclear saber rattling”.

“There is no place in our world for force-based nuclear deterrenceintimidation or blackmail.” “We have to unite to reject this,” he said, emphasizing that Washington would only consider the use of nuclear weapons in extreme circumstances, as reported by DPA.

The vice president of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, today questioned the proposal of the US president, Joe Biden, who proposed to Moscow immediate negotiations for the signing of a new nuclear treaty. “And we need it? The world has changed”Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel.

Medvedev stressed that Biden, “in the gut”, admitted that “even in times of the Cold War, the Soviet Union and the United States addressed security issues and reached compromises”, for which a new treaty is necessary to replace START III (New START), which expires in 2026.

“All this, of course, is fine. However, I insist. Now the situation is much worse than in the Cold War. Much worse! And we are not to blame,” she noted.
