State Department: the United States will not provide Russia with part of the information provided for by the START Treaty

"The U.S. continues to provide the notifications required by the START-3 treaty," he said at a briefing.

At the same time, as a response measure designed to "push Russia back to the implementation of the agreement," the United States did not provide Moscow with "six months of information," Patel said.

As Previously noted by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, the arguments of the US administration against Russia's decision to suspend the START Treaty are legally null and void.

On February 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Moscow was suspending its participation in the START Treaty. He noted that the situation in which the US military is at Russian nuclear facilities, while the United States is fomenting further escalation of the Ukrainian conflict, is simply impossible.

After that, the US State Department said that Washington considers it "legally incorrect" to suspend Russia's participation in the START Treaty.
