The Russian Federation considers it untimely to hold a session of a bilateral consultative commission with the United States on START at the moment;
Until the United States reconsiders its hostile line towards the Russian Federation, any steps towards the New START will be unjustified and inappropriate;
Washington should draw conclusions from the current situation around START, consideration of interests should be mutual;
US demands to resume START inspections against the backdrop of their actions in Ukraine look cynical;
Before accusing the Russian Federation of “non-compliance” with the START, the United States should have solved the problem of removing part of the carriers from the count;
The Russian Federation will not leave unanswered the hostile actions of the United States, which call into question the relevance of a number of provisions of the START;
The Russian Federation explained to the United States through diplomatic channels that it rejects the US claims about Moscow’s alleged non-compliance with the provisions of the START Treaty;
