Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday said that Russia will continue to respect nuclear arms limits with the United States for one more year after the current treaty expires in February next year. He also urged the US to do the same to avoid escalating tensions.
Putin warned that ending the 2010 New START treaty could harm global stability and lead to more countries seeking nuclear weapons.
The Russian President said in a televised speech that maintaining the treaty’s limits was “justified" to prevent a new arms race and keep predictability during these uncertain times.
“ We believe this measure will only be viable if the United States acts similarly and does not take steps that undermine or disrupt the existing balance of deterrence potentials,
