Izvestia: Russia will not agree to sign a new START treaty
Russia will not agree to sign a new Treaty on the Reduction of Strategic Offensive Arms (START, START-3), said “Izvestia” high-ranking source.
In a conversation with the publication, he noted that Russia’s resumption of participation in the treaty “will only amuse the pride of the United States.” According to him, Moscow’s position is explained by Washington’s destructive actions – threats with strategic weapons and the provision of military support to Ukraine.
“They threaten us with strategic weapons, provide weapons to Ukraine, what kind of agreement can we talk about,” the source noted.
Earlier, the White House announced its readiness to resume negotiations on the START Treaty. They explained that the new START is important because with it both countries will be “more secure.”
