Russia's UN ambassador accuses the US, France, and UK of provoking a nuclear arms race

[Russia's UN Representative: US, France, and UK Are Provoking a Nuclear Arms Race]

On April 30, 2026, in New York, Russia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Vasiliy Nebenzya, stated during a UN Security Council meeting:

It is evident that three Western countries possessing nuclear weapons—namely the United States, France, and the United Kingdom—are directly provoking a nuclear arms race. France and the United Kingdom have openly announced plans to expand their nuclear arsenals, while the United States has abandoned treaty constraints, disregarded the nuclear test ban, and declared its readiness to immediately expand its capabilities and resume nuclear testing at the earliest opportunity.
