Russia won't allow the US and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to inspect its nuclear facilities, though it won't be the first to resume testing of it atomic weapons, Putin said in his state of the nations address to parliament and top officials in moscow on Tuesday. The treaty that was extended in 2021 is due to expire in 2026.
Russian president Vladimir Putin announced that Russia will suspend its New Start nuclear treaty with the United States and the other two countries, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan, due to the sanctions imposed by the United States. The treaty, which was signed in 2010, allowed for the elimination of nuclear weapons by both countries by the end of 2021. Putin said that the suspension would allow for a "more comprehensive and effective dialogue" with the United States.
President Putin said Russia will suspend its observation of the new start nuclear weapons treaty, dealing a blow to the last accord with the US limiting their strategic arsenals.
