Russian President Vladimir Putin declared Tuesday that Moscow was suspending its participation in the New START treaty the last remaining nuclear arms control pact with the United States sharply upping the ante amid tensions with Washington over the fighting in Ukraine.
Speaking in his state-of-the-nation address, Putin also said that Russia should stand ready to resume nuclear weapons tests if the U.S. does so, a move that would end a global ban on nuclear weapons tests in place since Cold War times.
Explaining his decision to suspend Russias obligations under New START, Putin accused the U.S. and its NATO allies of openly declaring the goal of Russias defeat in Ukraine.
They want to inflict a strategic defeat on us and try to get to our nuclear facilities at the same time, he said.
Putin argued that while the U.S. has pushed for the resumption of inspections of Russian nuclear facilities under the treaty, NATO allies had helped Ukraine mount drone attacks on Russian air bases hosting nuclear-capable strategic bombers.
The drones used for it were equipped and modernized with NATOs expert assistance, Putin said. And now they want to inspect our defense facilities? In the conditions of todays confrontation, it sounds like sheer nonsense.
