Russian tactical nuclear weapons do not threaten the United States, and attempts to put them at the forefront of nuclear arms control negotiations are futile. This was announced on June 9 by the head of the Russian delegation to the Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), Ambassador-at-large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Andrei Belousov.

"As for our tactical nuclear weapons, they do not threaten the United States, they do not undermine the security equation that was formed in the early post—Soviet times and continues to be the basis of strategic stability to the present," TASS quoted him as saying.

Belousov stressed that when the issue of tactical nuclear weapons is raised, Russia's opponents first of all talk about the threat of such weapons. He stressed that attempts to put this issue at the forefront of the dialogue on strategic stability or the control of such weapons are still futile.

The Russian Embassy in the United States reported on May 27 that the leaders of the European Union (EU) and NATO are trying to involve the United States in schemes of inflicting "strategic defeat" on Russia. It was noted that the West turns a blind eye to human rights violations, the deliberate extermination of the peaceful Russian population, the glorification of the Nazis and their accomplices, as well as the scale of corruption in Ukraine.
