If Washington gives a constructive response, Russia is ready for dialogue with the United States on limiting strategic offensive weapons, said Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov, APA’s Moscow correspondent reports.
“If there is any constructive response, of course we will engage in dialogue,” the Kremlin spokesman emphasized.
It should be noted that the START Treaty, the last international legal restriction on the deployment of nuclear weapons, expires today due to Washington’s refusal to extend it. In the fall, Russia proposed continuing to comply with the New START limitations for another year after the treaty’s expiration. Although US President Donald Trump called it a "good idea", Washington has not yet taken any practical steps.
