This was stated by the head of the press service of the State Department, Ned Price.

“We continue to fully implement the agreement, including on limiting the number [of weapons],” TASS quoted him as saying.

Price added that the US is ready to meet with Russia on START issues.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that Washington's reports about a plan for inspections under the START appeared too late, and it is impossible to revise Russia's decision to suspend participation in the treaty.
