VIENNA (AP) — The United States and Russia have both recently threatened to resume nuclear testing, alarming the international community and jeopardizing a global norm against such tests. Experts say these threats from the world’s two largest nuclear powers put pressure on nonproliferation efforts and endanger global peace and security.

The Kremlin said on Friday that Russia and the United States were making progress in peace talks on Ukraine and that Moscow was ready to continue working with the current U.S. team.

In August, a WC-135R aircraft, deployed in the United Kingdom, was tracked flying over the Barents Sea, west of Russia's archipelago of Novaya Zemlya, where Russia operates a launch site for testing the Burevestnik nuclear-powered cruise missile.

Putin’s India visit explores defence, energy and trade ties amid US pressure on Russian oil. The summit could reshape India’s balance between Moscow and Washington.

Economic and military pressures could force Russia’s hand. Its economy is strained but not enough to do that, analysts say. And President Vladimir V. Putin says Russia is winning the war.

The probability of changing educational class was 52-53% in China compared to 45-46% in Russia, but roughly 68-81% of China's mobility and 57-68% of Russia's came from structural change rather than exchange mobility. At the steady state, Russia shows greater educational mobility, at about 42%, than China, which tracked at 19-27%.

NEW DELHI (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday at an annual summit and agreed to diversify mutual economic ties, as the United States presses India to revise its decades-old partnership with Russia.

Europe is in a state of decline. In 1980 the European Union, which then included the United Kingdom, represented roughly 30% of the world economy. The U.S.’ share was smaller, about 25%. Today the American share of the pie is about the same at 26%.

President Donald Trump‘s administration argues in its new National Security Strategy that ending the Russia-Ukraine war is a “core interest” for the United States, but it has been faced with European leaders who have “unrealistic expectations” for how it could end.
