UN Secretary-General: Current geopolitical tensions might escalate into nuclear conflict
The world is facing a nuclear threat not seen since the height of the Cold War
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated this, Sky News reports.
As the publication notes, nuclear threats are on the agenda of the New York meeting of the countries that have signed the non-proliferation treaty.
"Just one misunderstanding, one miscalculation" separate the world from nuclear annihilation due to the threats posed by the war in Ukraine, as well as in Asia and the Middle East, the UN Secretary-General emphasized.
At the talks in New York, Antonio Guterres said it was "a time of nuclear danger not seen since the height of the Cold War."
"We've been fortunate so far. But luck is not a strategy.
It is also not a defense against geopolitical tensions escalating into a nuclear conflict," he said.
It should be recalled that US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken criticized russia for nuclear blackmail, which the kremlin resorts to during a full-scale war against Ukraine.
