一、五大核武国发布联合声明|Nations Say Nuclear War Unwinnable

Leaders of five nuclear-armed states reaffirmed on Monday none of their nuclear weapons are targeted at each other or any other state, emphasizing a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought. In a joint statement issued by China, France, Russia, Britain and the United States－the first of its kind－the leaders said they consider the avoidance of war between nuclear states and the reduction of strategic risk as their utmost responsibility.

1月3日，中国、法国、俄罗斯、美国、英国五大核武器国家领导人共同发表《关于防止核战争与避免军备竞赛的联合声明》。联合声明称，“避免核武器国家间爆发战争和减少战略风险是我们的首要责任”，强调核战争打不赢也打不得，重申不将核武器瞄准彼此或其他任何国家。这是五国领导人首次就核武器问题发表声明。

"As nuclear use would have far-reaching consequences, we also affirm nuclear weapons－for as long as they continue to exist－should serve defensive purposes, deter aggression and prevent war," they said in the statement, adding further proliferation of such weapons must be prevented.

联合声明称：“鉴于核武器使用将造成影响深远的后果，我们也申明，只要核武器继续存在，就应该服务于防御目的、慑止侵略和防止战争。我们坚信必须防止核武器进一步扩散。”
