Russian President Vladimir Putin said he wants to extend the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) 'as soon as possible, before the end of this year, without any preconditions.'
Russian President Vladimir Putin told military-industrial complex figures Thursday that he was prepared to extend a bilateral pact limiting the nuclear stockpiles of Russia and the United States without preconditions, but claimed the United States has not responded to his offers.
This deal is the latest edition of a decades-old arrangement reducing the number of nuclear weapons and platforms maintained by the U.S. and Russia and set to expire in February 2021. Putin argued that"all our proposals to extend this agreement are on the table," but"so far, we have not received any reaction from partners."
