Russia says it is monitoring reported positioning of U.S. nuclear weapons in U.K.
Russia said on Tuesday that it detected a rise in international tensions and was monitoring developments after Britain's Times and Telegraph newspapers reported that the United States had stationed nuclear weapons in Britain for the first time since 2008.
Asked about the reports, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: 'We see a line towards escalation of tensions, towards militarisation, including nuclear militarisation.'
He added: 'Our relevant departments are monitoring developments in this area and formulating tasks to ensure our security against the backdrop of what is happening.'

Powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim rejects outreach by South's new president
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un rebuffed overtures by South Korea's new liberal government, saying Monday that North Korea has no interests in talks with South Korea no matter what proposal its rival offers. Kim Yo Jong's comments suggest again that North Korea, now preoccupied with its expanding cooperation with Russia, has no intentions of returning to diplomacy with South Korea and the U.S. anytime soon. But experts said North Korea could change its course if it thinks it cannot maintain the same booming ties with Russia when the Russia-Ukraine war nears an end.
