The United States does not change the readiness of its nuclear forces in connection with the suspension of Russia's participation in the START

“No changes in terms of readiness, nothing changes in terms of obligations that we must comply with,” RIA Novosti quoted Singh as saying at a briefing.

She called the decision of the Russian side to suspend participation in START "unsuccessful and irresponsible."

On February 21, Russian leader Vladimir Putin announced that Russia was suspending its participation in the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty.

Moscow does not withdraw from the agreement, namely, it suspends its participation, the President noted.
