Russia Open to Diplomacy on Nuclear Security

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday praised the political, economic, and security alliance between Moscow and Beijing, emphasizing its importance for international stability.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday that a proposal to transfer uranium from Iran as part of a deal to alleviate American concerns is a positive step. This proposal could help stabilize the situation in the region and reduce tension between the countries.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that economic growth slowed to just 1% in 2025, well below the previous year's figure. The economy continues to face challenges recovering amid the war in Ukraine.

The Kremlin highlighted the risks associated with the expiration of the last nuclear treaty between Russia and the United States. Experts warn of potential negative consequences for global security and strategic stability.
