State Department: US sanctions do not prevent Russian specialists from conducting START inspections

According to RIA Novosti, Price said this during a briefing.

According to him, the sanctions imposed by the United States do not create obstacles for Russian specialists to carry out inspections on US territory.

He added that Washington will continue to interact with Moscow through diplomatic channels.

Earlier, Igor Vishnevetsky, Deputy Director of the Department for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said that Russia and the United States intend to discuss the situation with inspections under START III.

Prior to this, US President Joe Biden said that his administration was ready to discuss with Russia a new arms control system that would replace the START III treaty, which expires in 2026.
