Russia Expresses Grave Concern Over US Nuclear Testing Statement
Imagine two kids, the US and Russia, who used to have a lot of powerful toys (nuclear weapons).
They agreed not to play with their biggest toys for a while.
Recently, the US kid said, 'Hey, other kids are getting new toys, so maybe I should start playing with my big toy again!'
This made the Russian kid very worried and they said, 'That's a serious thing to say, and we need to be ready in case that happens.'
They are concerned because playing with these big toys again could be dangerous for everyone.
