Iran Press/ America: Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on Tuesday that Moscow has suspended its participation in the New Start Treaty, the only remaining arms control agreement with the United States.
The New START Treaty was initially signed by former President Obama and former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in 2010.
“We’ll be watching carefully to see what Russia actually does,” Blinken told reporters. “We’ll, of course, make sure that in any event we are postured appropriately for the security of our own country and that of our allies.”
The U.S. accused Russia of violating the New START Treaty last month, after Moscow blocked on-site inspections and declined to meet to discuss Washington’s concerns.
During his unannounced visit to Kyiv on Monday, Biden announced another $500 million in aid for Ukraine. 219
