"How can we move forward together on a disarmament agenda when one country, π·πΊ , decides otherwise? The reality is that π·πΊ attitude & actions are in contempt of the spirit & texts of our collective work. For years, π·πΊ has consistently violated and circumvented its obligations."
"π·πΊ has failed to comply with its obligations to the Chemical Weapons Convention. By unilaterally suspending its application of the Treaty on Conventional Forces in Europe and withdrawing from the Open Skies Treaty, π·πΊ has permanently damaged the European security architecture."
"Russia is pursuing a systematic obstructionist policy in international forums in order to prevent states from adopting decisions that are essential for strengthening disarmament instruments."
"Russia has called for a Working Group on cyberspace while conducting multiple cyber-malicious activities. These activities challenge the international stability of cyberspace by fuelling risks of uncontrolled spread and escalation."
"π·πΊ has advocated for a non-verifiable treaty on the prevention of the placement of weapons in outer-space. This draft treaty is a sham, it's time to denounce it. It makes no provision for prohibiting certain destabilizing and threatening actions such as anti-satellite launches."
"Finally, the aggression against πΊπ¦ is a further direct violation of π·πΊ security commitments and guarantees to a non-nuclear weapon state. Similarly, the complicity of the π§πΎ regime and in particular the potential removal of Belarus' non-nuclear state status is of great concern."
"This continued Russian violation of disarmament and arms control instruments and their instrumentalization is unacceptable from a nuclear weapon state and unworthy of a responsible nuclear state."
"Despite these developments, it is our collective responsibility to reaffirm, without ambiguity, the primacy of the NPT, which remains the keystone of global stability and the cornerstone of international security." [End]
