The New START Treaty was signed in Prague in 2010 and entered into force the following year.
Moscow : Russia is also suspending the only remaining nuclear deal with the United States that limits the strategic nuclear arsenals on both sides, Russian President Vladimir Putin told lawmakers after his key speech in the Russian parliament nearly a year after the war in Ukraine. "I am compelled to announce today that Russia is suspending its participation in the Strategic Arms Convention."
It was extended for five years till 2021 after US President Joe Biden took office. The treaty limits the number of tactical nuclear weapons that the US and Russia can deploy and deploy them on land and submarine-based missiles and bombers. Russia and the United States together possess about 6% of the world's nuclear weapons, enough to destroy the world multiple times.
Significantly, Russian President Putin has accused the Western countries of provoking war in his address. He said that we are trying to resolve the whole situation very carefully and in an orderly manner. In his speech just after US President Joe Biden's visit to Ukraine, Putin said, "For me the security of the country is important and we are fully prepared for it. The Western countries are solely responsible for the Ukraine war," he said. Our fight is not with the people of Ukraine, but against Western power. He said that western countries have started this war. Western countries are deploying military squads near the border with Russia. Putin said that the wars waged by the United States since 2001 have resulted in the death of nearly 900,000 people and more than 38 million refugees.
