Russia suspends participation in Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty
«Russia has suspended participation in the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START),» Russian President Vladimir Putin said today in an address to the Federal Assembly.
He stressed that Russia was not withdrawing from the treaty, namely suspending participation in it.
«It is important to understand what France and Great Britain are claiming, it is important to determine the combined strike potential of the alliance. The Ministry of Defense and Rosatom must ensure readiness for nuclear weapons testing. Moscow will not be the first to do this, but no one should have the illusion that global parity can be destroyed,» Vladimir Putin said.
