The risk of using nuclear energy , chemical and biological weapons are growing thanks to the destructive policies of the West. This statement was made by the Secretary of the Russian Security Council Nikolai Patrushev at a meeting with colleagues from the CIS in Moscow.
He noted that the natural consequence of the destructive policy of the United States was the worsening of the situation in the field of global security.
” Their irresponsible actions not only contribute to the deepening of old crises and the emergence of new ones, but also prevent the peaceful resolution of conflicts that we can see in the Middle East today,” said the secretary of the Russian Security Council.
He also added that the United States is stimulating the growth of joint threats and challenges. Patrushev included terrorism, drug trafficking and transnational organized crime among them.
“The risk of using nuclear, chemical and biological weapons is increasing. The militarization of space and cyberspace is proceeding at an accelerated pace,” he concluded.
Earlier, Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswami said Russia surpasses the United States in the number of hypersonic missiles and nuclear weapons.
He also noted, that the United States now faces the threat of World War III. Ramaswami identified the military alliance between China and Russia as one of the main risks for the White House.
