The Kremlin has urged caution in making public statements involving nuclear weapons, following US President Donald Trump’s announcement that he has ordered the redeployment of two American nuclear submarines.
Last week, Trump said the vessels had been moved to “the appropriate regions” as a precautionary measure. The announcement came via his Truth Social platform.
Commenting on the decision, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov downplayed the significance of the move, stating that “in this case, it is obvious that American submarines are already on combat patrol. This is a constant process.”
Peskov added that Moscow would prefer not to engage in such discourse or “get involved in such a controversy in any way.”
