Russia has backed down: Russia is ignoring the statement about Trump's nuclear submarine deployment, and calls for caution in nuclear-related rhetoric

France 24 reported on August 4 that the Kremlin said anyone talking about nuclear issues should be cautious. This is the first time the Kremlin has responded to U.S. President Trump's statement that he had sent two nuclear submarines to a designated area.

The Kremlin spokesperson clearly ignored Trump's statement about the nuclear submarines, while Trump was responding to former Russian President Udmurtov's reckless remarks that the risk of war between the two nuclear powers had increased greatly.

The Kremlin spokesperson told reporters, "It is obvious that the U.S. nuclear submarines are on combat duty. This is an ongoing matter. It is the first time such a thing has happened."

"But generally speaking, we don't want to get involved in any controversial matters in any way. Of course, we believe that everyone should be very, very careful about nuclear issues."

The Kremlin spokesperson stated that Russia does not view Trump's declaration of sending nuclear submarines as an escalation of nuclear tensions between the two countries.

"We do not believe we are discussing any escalation between the U.S. and Russia. It is very clear that nuclear issues are a very complex and sensitive topic, and of course, some people express themselves emotionally about nuclear issues."

The Kremlin spokesperson refused to directly answer whether the Kremlin had warned Udmurtov not to argue with Trump online.

The Kremlin spokesperson said, "Listen, in every country, members of the national leadership have different views and attitudes toward what happens. For example, in the United States and European countries, there are some very stubborn people. So things are like this."

"Of course, the key issue is the position of Russian President Putin. You know, in our country, foreign policy is led by the head of state, which is President Putin."
