[モスクワ ５日 ロイター] – Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on the 5th that Chinese President Xi Jinping had warned Russian President Vladimir Putin over the use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine. He denied it, saying it was a “made-up story.”
Citing Western and Chinese officials, the FT reported that Xi had warned Putin not to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine during a face-to-face meeting in March.
Peskov said the two sides had announced the details of their talks in considerable detail after their talks in March. “The document adopted following the statement clearly shows the main points of the negotiations, and everything else is a fabrication,” he said, denying that the FT report was “unconfirmable.”
The FT also quoted Kremlin sources as saying that Putin independently determined that the use of tactical nuclear weapons would not help the Russian army advance.
