No they're not.

Peskov was aked about this at a presser and his reply was "I cannot confirm this." (source: Кремль не подтвердил, что Си Цзиньпин предостерег Путина от применения ЯО) That is not a denial, and Peskov is notorious for his doublespeak.

I'm gonna say the FT story is more than plausible.

This has now been denied by Lukashenko (source) on the grounds that "I know China and I know Xi Jinping". Obviously, take that with a pot of salt.
