[Regnum] The White House does not rule out that the Russian-American Treaty on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms (START) could be replaced by several agreements in the field of arms control. This opinion was expressed by the Special Assistant to the President of the United States, Senior Director for Arms Control, Disarmament and Nonproliferation in the National Security Council of the Administration Pranay Vaddi. The official said U.S. authorities have a “preferred approach” on the topic and want that approach to be taken by Russia and China as well. “For us, this looks like the beginning of negotiations with Russia on a follow-on agreement or set of agreements after the New START Treaty to ensure at least the preservation of restrictions between the United States and our largest nuclear adversary,” Waddy explained in his speech at a meeting of the Association for the Control of Nuclear Weapons. weapons. The New START Treaty in the United States is the Treaty on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms, concluded in 2010. In Russia it is called New START and START-3. The presidential aide stressed that Russia maintains restrictions on deployed strategic nuclear weapons and so does the White House. “We will continue to maintain these restrictions until the expiration of the treaty in the hope that we can begin earlier negotiations with Russia about what happens next,” Waddy said. As Regnum reported, Russia and the United States should sit down again at the negotiating table to develop an agreement that would replace New START, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on June 7. On April 16, the State Department stated in its report that the US administration is ready to abandon the countermeasures previously taken under the treaty if Russia returns to its obligations under the agreement. The text indicates that the United States continues to provide Russia with advance notification of the launches of its intercontinental ballistic missiles. In February 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the decision to suspend participation in the New START Treaty due to the fact that Washington, not observing the treaty, is trying to put pressure on Moscow and accuse it of non-compliance with the agreement.
