Neither Russia nor China has conducted nuclear tests, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated.
The Operative Information Center-OMM reports that Peskov made these remarks while addressing recent international allegations. Touching upon the trilateral meetings held in Geneva, Switzerland, aimed at resolving the ongoing crisis involving Russia, the United States, and Ukraine, Peskov noted that it would be inappropriate to disclose the specific details of the discussions at this stage.
"It is too early to discuss the interim results of the negotiations. Russian President Vladimir Putin is being briefed directly. Currently, it is premature to provide an assessment," Peskov said.
The spokesperson also firmly rejected claims regarding nuclear activities. "We have heard some reports regarding the conduct of nuclear tests. In this context, both Russia and China were mentioned. Neither Russia nor China has carried out any nuclear testing," he emphasized.
The discussions in Geneva come at a time of heightened global diplomatic activity. Such high-level meetings are typically facilitated by neutral parties to establish a framework for de-escalation and strategic stability. The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT), which prohibits all nuclear explosions for both civilian and military purposes, remains a central pillar of international security, and both Moscow and Beijing have frequently reiterated their commitment to global non-proliferation standards despite rising geopolitical tensions.
