"We proceed from the fact that there can be no winners in a nuclear war and it should never be unleashed, and we stand for equal and indivisible security for all members of the world community," he said. Putin's letter to the NPT forum appeared aimed at striking a reassuring note and portraying Russia as a responsible nuclear power.
