Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that Moscow is suspending its participation in the New START treaty — the last remaining nuclear arms control pact with the United States.
The nuclear arms control treaty was signed in the year 2010 during the US Presidency of Barack Obama along with his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev and was implemented on February 5, 2011.
It limits each country to no more than 1,550 deployed nuclear warheads and 700 deployed missiles and bombers.
After US President Joe Biden assumed his position in 2021, the treaty was extended for five years, allowing both US and Russian inspectors to ensure that both sides were in adherence with the treaty.
Now Russia has become free to conduct new nuclear weapon tests.
