Russian President Vladimir Putin says he has no desire for an arms race. The Russian leader spoke in Moscow on Monday, one day after he was elected to a fourth term as president. “Nobody plans to accelerate an arms race,” he said. Putin added that he would do everything he could to settle differences with other countries. “We will do everything possible to resolve all the differences with our partners using political and diplomatic channels,” he said. His comments mark a change from some of his recent statements. During the election campaign, Putin talked about new nuclear weapons he claimed could strike almost anywhere in the world.
