Ryabkov: Russia will look at the implementation in practice of US obligations under the START Treaty

His words are quoted by Interfax.

He noted that, as stated in Washington, the United States will comply with the terms of the treaty.

"We will see how this will happen in practice. So far, we regret to state that the United States has expanded the list of its own violations of the Treaty," Ryabkov said.

According to him, no one gave the United States the right not to transfer to Russia semi-annual data on the presence of strategic offensive weapons. Ryabkov explained that for this, Washington would need to either withdraw from the treaty or formally suspend its operation, as Russia did.

Earlier, Ryabkov noted that the United States does not comply with the START Treaty and is trying to shift responsibility to the other side, but they will not succeed.

On February 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Moscow was suspending its participation in the START Treaty.
