Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that nuclear arsenals are unlikely to be discussed in upcoming Putin-Trump-Xi talks, citing China's view that its nuclear capabilities are not comparable to Russia's and the US's. This signals a potential limitation on arms control dialogue among the three powers, though the statement is preliminary and subject to change.
