Russia has warned the United States that it must stop ultimatums over the collapse of arms control agreements, saying Moscow will only return to a nuclear arms reduction treaty if Washington abandons its hostile stance.
Russia and the United States, by far the biggest nuclear powers, have expressed regret for dismantling arms control treaties that were intended to slow the Cold War arms race and reduce the risk of nuclear war, Reuters writes.
Amid the crisis caused by the conflict in Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin announced in February that Russia was suspending participation in the New START treaty – an agreement signed in 2010 that limits the number of strategic nuclear warheads deployed by Russia and the United States.
The United States said this week it would stop providing Russia with certain notifications required under the treaty, including updates on the locations of its missiles and launchers, in retaliation for Moscow's "continued violations" of the accord.
