“As the two countries with the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons, we also have a responsibility, a responsibility to the whole world, a responsibility to ensure strategic security on this earth, only our two countries can do this,” he said.
Earlier, the head of the US Strategic Command, Air Force General Anthony Cotton, said that the Pentagon would like Russia to return to negotiations on strategic stability.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, during his address to the Federal Assembly, called the statements of the US authorities about their alleged readiness for negotiations on strategic stability ahead of the elections in the United States as demagoguery.
Putin stressed that Russia’s position remains the same.
