“Russia will respond proportionately if any country conducts nuclear tests, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said in an interview with TASS.”
CORROBORATED
The claim is directly confirmed by a TASS report quoting Sergey Ryabkov stating that Russia will respond 'appropriately and in due proportion' if any country conducts nuclear tests. This is further corroborated by another web source ('Russia's Ryabkov: Russia will respond in kind...') and Wikipedia confirms Sergey Ryabkov's official role as Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation.
