Speaking to reporters today, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it was necessary to maintain at least some “signs” of continued dialogue with Washington.

Russia has claimed it wants to keep the New Start treaty, after the US accused Moscow yesterday of violating the last remaining nuclear treaty between the two countries.

Speaking to reporters today, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it was necessary to maintain at least some “signs” of continued dialogue with Washington, “no matter how sad the situation is at the moment.”

THE continuation of the New Start treaty is “very important”, he said, describing her as the only one that remained “at least hypothetically viable.”

The treaty entered into force in 2011 and was extended in 2021 for five more years. The specific treaty limits the number of strategic nuclear warheads the two countries can develop, as well as the development of missiles and bombers.

It is recalled that yesterday, Monday, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that the last remaining element of the bilateral nuclear arms control treaty with the United States will expire in three years and could not be replaced with a new one.
