Vladimir Putin has once again stoked tensions with the West, announcing that Russia is on the verge of unveiling a new “wonder-weapon”, which he claims is already in the final stages of testing. The statement, made following a visit to Tajikistan, was interpreted as a cryptic message with a nuclear undertone, given that Washington is not rushing to negotiate a new strategic arms reduction treaty, according to Kyiv Post. <\/strong><\/p>\n

On Friday, Vladimir Putin hinted that Moscow is preparing to reveal a new weapon from the category of those “once announced”, a statement with a warning of a nuclear threat to the West.<\/p>\n

“We are in the final stage and I believe that soon we will have the opportunity to announce the new weapon that we once mentioned,”<\/em> Putin said in a discussion with the press, following his visit to Tajikistan, reports the Russian agency RIA Novosti.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The statement came in the context where the Russian president criticized the United States’ refusal to accept a new round of negotiations for the strategic arms reduction treaty (START).<\/p>\n

“We are ready to negotiate if this is acceptable and advantageous for the American side. If not, then not. It would be a pity, because nothing would remain in the field of deterrence regarding offensive strategic weapons,”<\/em> Putin added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
