“This is a continuation of the primitive information war against Russia. Such statements will be voiced every day, despite all their folly and the absence of any documentary evidence. It is clear that Russia, firstly, cannot test nuclear weapons imperceptibly. Secondly, in our country there is no place to do it. And, thirdly, it does not make sense for us to carry out tests, because all existing types of nuclear weapons do not require improvement, ”shein said.
According to the deputy, it is alarming that "the United States really sees nuclear weapons as a tool for solving momentary and geopolitical problems."
“Russia sees in nuclear weapons an element of deterrence and protection. I think that this statement is an attempt to create an unfavorable background around our country. But everyone understands that the previous provocations and accusations against Moscow have failed, the United States has discredited itself, ”he said.
Earlier, the Pentagon said that Russia allegedly did not observe a moratorium on nuclear tests.
