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.
