In announcements aimed at enhancing links and cooperation with and, but at a bilateral level and in a completely different field, its president proceeded shortly.
More specifically, wanting to demonstrate power on the one hand, but also to change the climate against the ongoing delay imposing Ukraine war, the Russian president argued: “Russia is ready to keep the New Start for a year. The full rejection of the New Start would be wrong. “
Putin puts the nuclear ahead
The “opening” to Trump for an understanding between the “nuclear forces” that Putin again attempted becomes better than his other statements in which he said: “The implementation of the New Start Treaty was suspended due to the hostile policy of the Biden government and the Biden Government Policy. According to Putin: “The whole system of Russian -American relations in control of equipment has been destroyed, but it is not Russia who is interested in an equipment race, but the West is trying to undermine global equality and achieve absolute and overwhelming superiority.”
The new Treaty on Limit Strategic Weapons, or New Start, which limits the number of strategic nuclear heads that the United States and Russia can develop, as well as the development of bombers, submarines and land launch systems, is due to expire on February 5.
The New Start Treaty was signed in 2010 by then US President Barack Obama and Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev and sets the ceiling of strategic nuclear heads that the United States and Russia can develop. Specifically, the treaty from which Russia has virtually retired provides that the ceiling for each side is 1,550 nuclear heads, a number corresponding to a 30% reduction in relation to the threshold provided by the previous 2002 treaty.
