MOSCOW, May 27. /TASS/. Nuclear weapons may appear on Australian soil due to its participation in the AUKUS (Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States) military pact, Russian Security Council Secretary Sergey Shoigu at the sixth round of consultations between high-level Russian and ASEAN representatives overseeing security issues.
He also noted that Japan is flirting with NATO and Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
TASS has compiled the key statements by the Russian Security Council chief.
Situation around New START Treaty
The categorical rejection by the United States of the Russian initiative to preserve the legacy of the Russian-American New START Treaty in the form of voluntary self-restraint is a cause for "serious concern." The American side "has taken the path of ensuring itself complete freedom of action, declaring its readiness to begin expanding its nuclear arsenal beyond the New START limits and to resume nuclear testing at any moment."
