Russia Announces No Longer Bound by New START Treaty Obligations
2026-02-05 02:36

Russia's Foreign Ministry announced that President Putin proposed an initiative for both Russia and the U.S. to voluntarily adhere to the weapon limits set by the New START Treaty for at least a year after its expiration in September 2025. However, Russia has not received any formal response from the U.S. through bilateral channels. As a result, Russia concluded that it is no longer bound by the treaty's obligations. Russia stated it is prepared to take decisive military-technical countermeasures to address potential threats to its security. Despite this, Russia remains open to political and diplomatic solutions for strategic stability if conditions allow for equal and mutually beneficial dialogue.
