MOSCOW, November 19. /TASS/. Washington has yet to respond to Russia’s proposal on the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START), Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said in an interview published on the PIR Center think tank’s website.
He pointed out that it would only be possible to talk about conventional arms control after Russia’s special military operation was over.
TASS has gathered the key points from what the senior Russian diplomat said.
- Dialogue on restoring the system of conventional arms control may begin only after the goals of Moscow’s special military operation are achieved.
- The US has not yet formed a position on Russia’s proposals on New START: "So far, no progress has been made. I believe it is too early to comment on Washington’s overall stance regarding this proposal, even despite the positive signals from President Trump."
