Washington says Moscow is blocking inspections and missing compliance meetings, as part of the New START Treaty put in place after the Cold War.
| The United States on Tuesday accused Russia of violating the New START Treaty, the last major pillar of post-Cold War nuclear arms control between the two countries, saying Moscow was refusing to allow inspection activities on its territory.
The two countries, which during the Cold War were constrained by a tangle of arms control agreements, still account together for about 90 per cent of the world’s nuclear warheads.are the worst in decades over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, an element that could complicate attempts by President Joe Biden’s administration to maintain and reach a follow-on agreement.
The State Department spokesman said Russia had a “clear path” for returning to compliance by allowing inspection activities, and that Washington remains ready to work with Russia to fully implement the treaty.Talks between Moscow and Washington on resuming inspections under New START were due to take place in November in Egypt, but Russia postponed them and neither side has set a new date.
