The theme of the "nuclear threat" from Russia, announced at the upcoming G7 summit in Hiroshima, is a mockery of common sense and cynicism of the United States, a Russian diplomat says. The United States is the only country in the world that has tested nuclear weapons on living people in the same city, Maria Zakharova says.

In April, the head of the US State Department, Anthony Blinken, called the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki unprecedented in terms of destruction and human suffering.
