"Caution Urged in Nuclear Discourse Following Trump's Submarine Command": Russia's Response to Presidential Order
The Kremlin, through spokesman Dmitry Peskov, has emphasized caution and restraint regarding nuclear rhetoric following the repositioning of U.S. nuclear submarines. Peskov stated that Russia approaches statements related to nuclear issues with great caution and reaffirmed Russia's firm commitment to nuclear non-proliferation, urging all parties to exercise utmost restraint in nuclear discourse.
The backdrop of this situation stems from a public exchange triggered by Dmitry Medvedev's remarks referencing Russia’s nuclear capabilities, which prompted U.S. President Trump to announce the deployment of nuclear submarines. However, the Kremlin's stance remains focused on urging careful communication and avoiding escalation in nuclear-related rhetoric.
Peskov also downplayed the significance of the U.S. submarine movements, noting that such deployments are routine standard operations rather than escalatory actions. American submarines are already on combat duty, according to Peskov.
In response to questions about the differing attitudes of US and European leaders, Peskov stated that in every country, members of the leadership have different points of view on events. He did not specify who in the US or European countries he was referring to when he mentioned "very, very tough-minded" individuals.
Peskov reiterated that foreign policy in Russia is formulated by President Putin and did not provide any details about the ongoing discussions between the Kremlin and the US. He also declined to comment on whether the movement of US submarines is a concern for Russia.
Trump ordered two US nuclear submarines to be moved to "the appropriate regions," but the Kremlin responded by focusing on the need for caution in nuclear rhetoric rather than addressing the specific military implications. Peskov did not want to comment on the matter in a controversial way, emphasizing the importance of diplomatic discourse in resolving international tensions.
