The Federation Council may follow the State Duma to consider a law on the suspension of Russia's participation in START

“If we get it from the Duma, of course, it will be considered.

We have scheduled a meeting of the committee tomorrow, and there will be a plenary meeting.

There must be a certain promptness in the decision.

We are ready for this promptness," TASS quoted him as saying.

Earlier, State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said that Russian President Vladimir Putin submitted a draft to the State Duma to suspend participation in the New START Treaty.

According to him, the State Duma deputies will consider the relevant document on February 22.
