Russian President Vladimir Putin today announces, Moscow was suspending its participation in a major arms control agreement with the United States.
New Start treaty is the last remaining nuclear arms deal between #Moscow and #Washington, and it was extended for five years in 2021.
The New START treaty was signed in Prague in 2010 and came into force the following year. It caps the number of strategic nuclear warheads that the United States and Russia can deploy, and limits the use of missiles that can carry atomic weapons.
Speaking in his State of the Nation address, President Putin stressed that Russia was not fully withdrawing from the treaty yet. He said, Russia should stand ready to resume nuclear weapons tests if the United States does so, a move that would end a global ban on nuclear weapons tests in place since Cold War times. Mr Putin has addressed the Nation, as the first anniversary of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine approaches on Friday. President Putin also spoke at length about the Russia-Ukraine conflict. He blamed the West for escalating the tension in the region, saying the US and its allies sought limitless power.
