The decision of the British government to increase its nuclear arsenal for the first time since the fall of the Soviet Union denounced today the Kremlin.
“We are very sorry that Britain has chosen the path of increasing its nuclear weapons,” said Dmitry Peshkov, a spokesman for the Russian presidency.
“This decision undermines global stability and strategic security” he added.
London, as reminded by AMPE, decided to increase its nuclear arsenal as part of the first review of its strategy in the field of security, defense and foreign policy after Brexit.
In this context it also reduces the Russia a major threat to the country, with London and Moscow having strained relations for years, largely due to poisoning on British soil by critics of Russian rule.
“No threat comes from Russia” said Peshkov, who called it “unacceptable” to say otherwise.
According to a report released yesterday, London expects to increase its nuclear warhead from 180 to 260, or 45%, ending a gradual disarmament that took place after the collapse of the Soviet Union before from thirty years.
This reversal, following Britain’s commitment in 2010 to reduce these weapons by mid-2020, is justified by “Growing range of technological and dogmatic threats“, According to the document.
It also runs counter to the international community’s goals of non-proliferation, just weeks after the US-Russia agreement reached to extend the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
“Nuclear weapons are a threat to peace on Earth,” Peshkov said.
