Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented on the words of Emmanuel Macron during a visit to China about the inadmissibility of placing nuclear weapons in other countries.
“We have not heard such a fierce criticism of the President of France against the United States for a long time,” the Kremlin spokesman said in a comment to journalist Pavel Zarubin.
During a press conference conference following the talks between Chinese leader Xi Jinping and French President Macron declared the inadmissibility of placing weapons of mass destruction by countries that possess them outside their state, especially in Europe.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Moscow and Minsk reached agreements on the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of the Republic of Belarus.
