Direct speech: “I am forced to announce today that Russia is suspending its participation in the strategic offensive arms treaty. I repeat: it is not withdrawing from the treaty, no, it is suspending its participation.
But before returning to the discussion of this issue, we must understand for ourselves what such countries of the North Atlantic Alliance as France and Great Britain still claim and how we will take into account their strategic arsenals. That is the cumulative potential strike of the Alliance.
They have now made their statement essentially an application for participation in this process. Well, thank God. Come on, we don’t mind. You just don’t need to try to lie to everyone again, to make yourself a champion of peace and detente.”
Reference: The Strategic Offensive Arms Treaty (START) is an agreement on the limitation of nuclear weapons between the United States and the Russian Federation.
