MOSCOW (AP) – Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow will glue on Monday Nuclear weapon restrictions Another year after the last remaining nuclear agreement with the US expired in February.
Putin said the end of a new start in 2010 will have negative consequences for global stability. In a meeting with members of the Russian Security Council, he said Russia would expect the United States to follow Moscow’s example and stick to treaty restrictions.
The new start, signed by Barack Obama and Dmitry Medvedev at the time, limits countries to less than 1,550 nuclear warheads and 700 deployed missiles and bombers. Its looming expiration and lack of dialogue about the lockdown of successor transactions are worried advocates of arms control.
The agreement envisages cleaning up inspections on the premises to verify compliance, but has been dormant since 2020.
February 2023, Putin suspended Moscow participation The treaty stated that Russia could not allow nuclear sites to be tested when Washington and its NATO allies openly declared Moscow’s defeat in Ukraine. However, Moscow emphasizes that it has not withdrawn from the agreement entirely and will continue to respect the nuclear weapons cap in the treaty set.
