According to the NATO press service of February 3, the Allies urge the Russian Federation to perform their duties, facilitating the conduct of SNO inspections in Russia. NATO noted that a new agreement on the restriction of nuclear weapons in the Russian Federation and the United States contributes to international stability.
Therefore, Moscow's refusal to participate in the creation of a bilateral advisory commission (DCC) within the timely manner and the obstacle in the work of inspectors prevents Washington from checking the compliance with the DSSU. The US Senate explained that it was a new contract for a five-year SNO, which will in principle be crucial for any other nuclear weapons control agreement.
Since the old treaty expires in 2026, US President Joe Biden said he was interested in negotiations on its continuation. "We urge Russia to fulfill its obligations under the treaty, facilitating the conduct of SNO inspections in the Russian territory and returning to participation in the activity of the body to execute agreements," the statement reads. It should be noted that together for the United States and Russia, there are approximately 90% of world nuclear warheads.
Nuclear weapons restriction is aimed at limiting 1 550 deployed nuclear warheads, 700 deployed ballistic missiles and heavy bombers in two countries. We will remind, in the State Department of the United States on January 31, Russia violates the contract on control of nuclear weapons and hinders the work of the US inspection in its territory.
