⚡️ Statement of the Russian Federation on preventing nuclear war

As a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and one of the nuclear-weapon powers, in accordance with the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the Russian Federation bears a special responsibility in matters related to strengthening international security and strategic stability.

In implementing its policy on nuclear deterrence Russia is strictly and consistently guided by the tenet that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.

Russia proceeds from the continued relevance of the existing arrangements and understandings in the field of cutting and limiting nuclear weapons, as well as reducing strategic risks and threat of international incidents and conflicts fraught with escalation to nuclear level. We fully reaffirm our commitment to the Joint statement of the leaders of the five nuclear-weapon states on preventing nuclear war. We are strongly convinced that in the current complicated and turbulent situation, caused by irresponsible and impudent actions aimed at undermining our national security, the most immediate task is to avoid any military clash of nuclear powers.

❗️ We urge other states of the "nuclear five" to demonstrate in practice their willingness to work on solving this top-priority task and to give up the dangerous attempts to infringe on vital interests of each other while balancing on the brink of a direct armed conflict and encouraging provocations with weapons of mass destruction, which can lead to catastrophic consequences.

🌐 Russia continues to advocate for a revamped, more robust architecture of international security based on ensuring predictability and global strategic stability, as well as on the principles of equal rights, indivisible security and mutual account of core interests of the parties.

🔗 Подробности

🗓️ 9 ноября 1979 года из-за ошибки американского компьютера системы NORAD (Командование воздушно-космической обороны Северной Америки), сообщившего о ядерном нападении со стороны СССР, в США была объявлена ядерная тревога

⏲️ В течение десяти минут мир находился на краю ядерной войны

❗️Позднее было установлено, что причиной инцидента стала компьютерная лента, предназначенная для отработки действий при ракетном нападении, которая была ошибочно загружена в компьютер, находившийся на боевом дежурстве

🗓️ On November 9, 1979 due to an error in the American computer of the NORAD system (North American Aerospace Defense Command), which reported a Soviet nuclear attack, a nuclear alert was declared in the United States

⏲️ For ten minutes the world was on the brink of a nuclear war

❗️It was later revealed the cause of the incident to be a computer tape designed to practice actions during a missile attack, which was mistakenly loaded into a computer on a combat duty
