Russia has warned there are ‘fewer and fewer steps’ to a potential ‘nuclear collision’ and warned Britain it will ‘respond’ to its ammunition supplies to Ukraine.
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Tuesday that there were fewer and fewer steps left before a potential ‘nuclear collision’ between Russia and the West, Interfax news agency reported.
Shoigu was responding to media reports that Britain would supply Ukraine with ammunition containing depleted uranium, a move to which he said Moscow would respond, Interfax reported.
But amid ongoing talks between Russia and China at the Kremlin this week, both countries warned that there would be no winners in nuclear conflict.
A joint statement from Russia and China called on the United States to stop undermining global strategic stability.
Russia and China declared today that they were ‘strengthening our coordination and cooperation’, amid the statement.
Xi told Putin earlier today: ‘The early harvest of (our) cooperation can be seen, and further cooperation is being advanced.’
Putin also said he was ‘convinced that our multi-level mutually beneficial cooperation will strengthen further’.
Xi said China and Russia should work more closely to push forward greater ‘practical cooperation’.
Xi also met with Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin earlier where he hailed Russia and China as ‘great neighbouring powers’.
Beijing and Moscow’s trade ties have boomed since Russia’s Ukraine campaign, linking the nations more closely and raising worries in Western capital over how far the ties will go.
Xi, who said he had invited Putin to visit China this year, said China’s government would ‘continue to prioritise the all-round strategic partnership between China and Russia’.
‘We are great neighbouring powers,’ he was quoted by Russian news agencies as saying during a meeting with Mishustin.
