Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Friday refuted US claims suggesting that Russia has been illegally carrying out nuclear tests, stressing that international experts have already proven these allegations wrong.
“As regards the claims that Russia allegedly carried out nuclear tests, their delusional nature has already been noted by representatives of the CTBTO [Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation] and distinguished and respected experts in the United States”, Lavrov told reporters at a press stakeout in the Russian Embassy in Tokyo.
