Putin: Russia suspends the START Treaty

The President said that Russia is not withdrawing from the treaty, but suspending its participation in the Strategic Offensive Arms Treaty (START).

He explained that such a decision of the Russian Federation was provoked by the actions of the United States, which, according to him, have already done so.

The President pointed out that the West wants to inflict a strategic defeat on the Russian Federation and inspect Russian military facilities. However, Russia will not agree to this.
