It is reported by Reuters, citing the source.

As the agency was told, it would be “premature” to talk about START III at a meeting of the Russian and American delegations in Geneva.

The interviewee noted that since the contract expires in 2021, this issue is “the problem of the next year”.

Earlier, the media reported that US representatives intend to hold talks on July 17 with the Russian side in Geneva on the creation of a new agreement on the limitation of nuclear weapons, which also provides for the participation of China.

Also, US presidential candidate Joe Biden said that if he wins the election, he will seek to extend the START III treaty.
