00:00 The United States and Russian Federation have been at severe odds ever since the Ukraine
00:07 war broke out in February 2022.
00:09 The former Cold War rivals were back to square one after the onset of Ukraine and the hostilities
00:14 have persisted ever since without any relief.
00:17 Now Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov has issued a stern warning to the
00:21 United States of America.
00:23 Sergei Ryabkov, Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister who oversees US relations, non-proliferation
00:28 and arms control, has warned that the United States is miscalculating if it anticipates
00:33 winning the upcoming arms race.
00:35 While discussing the escalating NATO-Russia rivalry with a Russian newspaper, Ryabkov
00:39 emphasized that Biden's attempt to mirror the past experiences of Ronald Reagan's presidency
00:43 is pointless.
00:44 If the United States hopes to replicate success in the arms race, they are mistaken.
00:49 Furthermore, Ryabkov suggested that due to these actions, the US and its allies are ensuring
00:53 that the likelihood of a military confrontation between NATO and Moscow cannot be disregarded.
00:58 The onus is definitely on NATO's side, Ryabkov emphasized.
01:02 Make no mistake, these statements are pretty stern and direct against the Western bloc.
01:06 Russian President Vladimir Putin has already affirmed to the West that his statements regarding
01:10 the use of nuclear weapons are serious and no mere bluffs in case Russia's territorial
01:14 integrity faces threats.
01:16 Putin previously declared Russia's suspension of the New START treaty, refusing US and NATO
01:20 inspections of its nuclear sites.
01:23 He accused the US of ongoing nuclear weapon advancements and cautioned that any American
01:27 nuclear tests would prompt Russia to develop and conduct its own.
01:30 Additionally, there were indications that Russia might resume nuclear testing.
01:34 Subsequently, the US and Russia have initiated a new arms race, raising concerns among experts
01:39 who suggest that it might surpass the severity of the Cold War and spiral out of control.
01:45 Ryabkov's recent statement just solidified Russia's position, asserting that Moscow's
01:49 intent for imminent clash with NATO.
01:51 Yet, he stressed that the potential for escalation hinges upon the actions initiated by the Western
01:56 alliance.
