The US is ready for negotiations with the Russian Federation, China and North Korea to reduce the nuclear threat
During his address to Nobel Peace Prize laureates, Biden noted that the United States is ready for negotiations, as blocking "progress in reducing nuclear arsenals" will not benefit either their countries or the world.
According to him, reducing the nuclear threat is important precisely because of modern challenges that undermine norms and agreements.
These nuclear risks undermine the norms and agreements we have worked together to establish, and run counter to the vital work of today's Nobel laureates.

Biden also recalled his trip to Hiroshima last year, where he had a conversation with a survivor of the nuclear bombing. This meeting reminded him of the importance of continuing efforts to finally rid the world of nuclear weapons.
Putin again began to scare the world with nuclear weapons
On September 25, the illegitimate president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, made changes to the Russian doctrine of nuclear deterrence. The Russian dictator announced this at a meeting of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.
The leader of the aggressor country drew the attention of those present at the Security Council that "in the updated version of the document, aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear state, but with the participation or support of a nuclear state, is proposed to be considered as their joint attack on the Russian Federation."
Putin expanded the "category of states and military alliances that are subject to nuclear deterrence." The document also added a list of "military threats for the neutralization of which nuclear deterrence measures are being implemented."
According to the Russian dictator, a nuclear response will occur in the event of "verified information about the launch of air-space attack means towards Russia." These are "strategic and tactical aircraft, cruise missiles, drones, hypersonic and other aircraft."
Also, the illegitimate president of the aggressor country stated that he would respond with a nuclear weapon if someone attacked Belarus.
