Ukraine, Kiev recaptures Russian-controlled areas in Donetsk. Trump: we will not send Tomahawk missiles

"Russia and China are testing, but they don't talk about it," he explained in the interview. "I don't want to be the only country not testing," he said, adding North Korea and Pakistan to the list of nations allegedly testing their arsenals.

There is confusion surrounding Trump's order to begin testing in the US. The US president first made his surprising announcement in a social media post on Thursday, minutes before he entered South Korea for a summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, stating that he had "instructed the War Department to begin testing our nuclear weapons on an equal basis."

The announcement came after Russia claimed to have tested a new nuclear-powered cruise missile, the Burevestnik, and Poseidon. a nuclear-powered, nuclear-capable submarine drone.

China, for its part, denied that it had tested nuclear weapons, after President Trump said the country was among those that had conducted tests unknown to the public. "China has always adhered to the path of peaceful development, pursued a policy of non-first use of nuclear weapons, advocated a nuclear self-defence strategy and fulfilled its commitment to suspend nuclear tests," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said.

"The Russian spokeswoman's words are squalid and worrying, because they confirm the abyss of vulgarity into which Moscow's leadership has plunged. No one in Italy, no one at all, would ever have thought of rejoicing, of speculating on an accident, a tragedy in which we are all still involved as Italian people". This is how Farnesina sources commented the words of the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, who on her Telegram channel, after the collapse of the Tower of Accounts under restoration in the centre of Rome, wrote: "As long as the Italian government continues to uselessly spend its taxpayers' money" on Ukraine, "Italy will all collapse, from the economy to the towers".

'Italy has always done and will always do the opposite: we will maintain our civilised ways, our politeness. We have also done so in recent months when a shopping centre was attacked in Russia. We will always and in any case express solidarity and friendship for the weakest, for those in difficulty, for those under attack. That is why we support the Ukrainian people. Because we are Italian,' the same sources continue. The Farnesina has summoned the Russian ambassador.

Meanwhile, there is also an Africa front for the US denying Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. The US military could deploy troops to Nigeria or carry out air strikes to stop the killing of large numbers of Christians in the African country, Trump said. Asked if he foresaw ground troops or air strikes in Nigeria, the president said: 'could be. I mean, other things. I foresee a lot of them. They're killing record numbers of Christians in Nigeria... They're killing Christians and they're killing them in large numbers. We're not going to allow that to happen.
