The State Department announced the readiness of the United States to meet with Russia to discuss START

State Department spokesman Ned Price said this at a briefing.

“We remain ready to meet with Russia within the framework of the START III implementation body to discuss all the concerns that the United States and Russia have in connection with the treaty,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

Price also called New START a "critical tool for maintaining stability."

On November 28, it became known that the session of the Russian-American Advisory Commission on the START Treaty, previously scheduled for November 29-December 6, would not take place on these dates and would be held later.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov explained that in a number of areas, American colleagues showed an unwillingness to perceive Russia's signals and reckon with its priorities.
