Moscow, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) — There is no talk of nuclear escalation now, but rather an emotional perception of the situation, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said at a briefing on Monday, commenting on the emotional statements made in recent days.
"We do not believe that we are talking about any escalation now. It is clear that very complex, very sensitive substances are being discussed, which, of course, are perceived by many in a very emotional way," D. Peskov said in response to a question about whether the Kremlin considers the latest statements by US President Donald Trump about his readiness for a nuclear war with Russia a reason for escalation.
"Russia is very attentive to the topic of nuclear non-proliferation. And, of course, we believe that everyone should be very, very careful with nuclear rhetoric," he emphasized.
“There can be no winner in a nuclear war,” he noted. “This is probably the main postulate from which we proceed.”
Touching upon the statement by US President D. Trump that he gave the order to redeploy two nuclear submarines to “appropriate areas” due to statements on social networks by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, D. Peskov noted that American nuclear submarines are on combat duty even without statements from politicians.
"In this case, it is obvious that American submarines are already on combat duty. This is an ongoing process," the Kremlin spokesman said. -0-
