RUSSIA EXIT NEW START TREATY CONSEQUENCES (Hindi) | Russia Nuclear treaty | International politics
President Vladimir Putin has said Russia is suspending participation in the New START nuclear arms reduction treaty with the United States after accusing the West of being directly involved in attempts to attack its strategic air bases.
“I am forced to announce today that Russia is suspending its participation in the strategic offensive arms treaty,” he said on Tuesday.
START stands for “Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty” and is the last remaining nuclear arms control pact between Russia and the US.
The treaty, which caps the number of strategic nuclear warheads that the US and Russia can deploy, was signed by former US President Barack Obama and his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev in 2010.
It came into force in February 2011 and was extended in 2021 for five more years after US President Joe Biden took office.
