Nebenzya urged the "nuclear five" to comply with the principle of the unacceptability of nuclear war

According to him, Russia took the initiative to reaffirm the principle that a nuclear war should never be unleashed.

He stressed that the statement also stressed the need to prevent any military confrontation between the nuclear powers.

“It is extremely important that all signatories of the statement demonstrate their commitment to these provisions in practice,” RIA Novosti quoted Nebenzi as saying at a meeting of the UN Security Council.

Earlier, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said that at the moment the risk of nuclear conflict has become the most serious in decades.
