Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin jointly criticize the United States over nuclear and broader security issues, according to a shared statement cited by multiple outlets. The statement highlights tensions tied to nuclear arms control, including concerns about the status of a remaining US-Russia nuclear restriction framework. The joint remarks also address the potential expiry of the last treaty that limits the size of US and Russian nuclear arsenals, warning that the loss of such constraints could increase risks around strategic stability. The statement further criticizes US actions and posture on security matters, framing the issues as part of a wider pattern affecting international security. While the two countries’ positions align in the statement, both leaders’ comments are presented primarily as a condemnation of US policy and a warning about the consequences of the breakdown or expiration of nuclear arms limitations between Washington and Moscow. The reports emphasize that the leaders’ shared criticism centers on nuclear restraint, treaty continuity, and the implications for global security.
