Dmitry Peskov says both Moscow and Beijing remain committed to moratoriums on nuclear detonations<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong> The Kremlin has called for clarification from Washington following recent remarks by US President Donald Trump, who claimed that Russia and China are secretly conducting nuclear weapons tests.<\/p>\n Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told RT on Tuesday that neither country has resumed such activities and that both remain committed to existing international agreements.<\/p>\n “We probably still need to receive some clarifications from the American side,”<\/em> Peskov said. “Neither Russia nor China has resumed any nuclear tests. Moreover, both Moscow and Beijing insist that all countries remain committed to their obligations under the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.”<\/em><\/p>\n Peskov made the remarks days after Trump claimed in a televised interview that the US was the “only country that doesn’t test”<\/em> nuclear weapons, and suggested that both Moscow and Beijing had resumed such activities.<\/p>\n He ordered the Pentagon last week to begin preparations to restart nuclear testing.<\/p>\n \n Read more<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n “What the head of the American state means, we simply cannot say right now, unfortunately,”<\/em> the Kremlin spokesman added.<\/p>\n The US last carried out a full-scale nuclear test in 1992; a moratorium has been in place since then.<\/p>\n Energy Secretary Chris Wright clarified on Sunday that the tests ordered by Trump would not involve live detonations, describing them as “non-critical”<\/em> trials meant to ensure the reliability of aging components.<\/p>\n Despite Trump’s assertions, Russia’s most recent nuclear-related tests – including the launch of the Burevestnik nuclear-powered cruise missile and the Poseidon underwater drone – did not involve nuclear explosions.<\/p>\n Putin has previously indicated that Russia would only consider resuming testing if other nuclear powers officially abandon the moratorium.<\/p>\n
