GENEVA, February 24. /TASS/. The crisis in Ukraine is the result of Western attempts to ensure global dominance, Russian permanent representative to the UN and other international organizations in Geneva Gennady Gatilov said at the UN Conference on Disarmament.
According to the diplomat, NATO countries' actions, including the development of security guarantees for Kiev, demonstrate their unwillingness to settle the Ukrainian conflict.
TASS has compiled the envoy’s key statements.
The US’ decision to lift the moratorium on nuclear testing will have a domino effect around the world: "We warn that the US withdrawal from its national moratorium will artificially trigger a domino effect, and Washington will be entirely responsible for this."
The actions of the US administration, including President Donald Trump's October 2025 directive to resume nuclear testing, raise additional doubts about the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty's implementation.
