Pentagon postpones testing of hypersonic weapons until Russian-US summit – Politico

The United States allegedly worried that Russia might misinterpret such a signal, or that the launch of such weapons would sabotage the meeting altogether.

In turn, the White House did not agree with this information and stressed that it “is not reliable,” Politico reported. The Pentagon has not yet officially commented on this topic.

Putin and Biden met in Geneva on June 16. The negotiations lasted almost four hours. As a result, political leaders adopted a joint statement on strategic arms control.

“Today we reaffirm our adherence to the principle that there can be no winners in a nuclear war and that it should never be unleashed,” it said.
