On 6 February, U.S. President Donald Trump said that, contrary to French President Emmanuel Macron, he would like denuclearization, and that he expected to start negotiations on it with Russia and China. However, Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said that “there have been no concrete negotiations on arms control between the Russian Federation and the United States, and there is no understanding as to when or where they will begin.” Political scientist and economist Sergei Karaganov explains why denuclearization is not desirable.

We say Sergei Karaganov and imply a grandiose disturbance. We say a grandiose
disturbance and mean Sergei Karaganov. The honorary chairman of the Presidium
of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy is the flesh and blood of the Russian
elite, a person whom the Russian President can publicly call by name, and who
regularly sits next to Sergei Lavrov at various events. And this is also the man who
has recently suggested the unthinkable―contemplating possible Russian nuclear
strikes on NATO countries.
