Putin was asked whether Russia would “count the warheads” of Britain and France in the future.
“Well, of course. After all, at one time we went to put them out of the brackets, bearing in mind both detente and the fact that NATO declared itself almost a demilitarized organization, they said that it was most likely a political organization, not a military bloc. Well, where is he not a military one? We see what is happening. Therefore, we are simply forced to return to the discussion of this topic from the center of the field,” the dictator said.
Recall that the Federation Council of the Russian Federation adopted a law on the suspension of participation in the Treaty on Strategic Offensive Arms. Putin said that Russia should understand what NATO countries such as France and Britain are claiming, and how the aggressor country will take into account their strategic arsenals.
France and Britain have expressed concern over Russia’s withdrawal from START.
At the same time, the Pentagon did not notice a change in the position of Russia’s strategic nuclear forces after Putin’s statements about the suspension of participation in the nuclear agreement.
