US national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Washington does not see any change in the readiness of Russian nuclear forces. He said this in an interview he gave to the TV channel. CNN.
“I can only talk about what we saw. And we do not see any change in the readiness of the Russian nuclear forces,” Sullivan said.
The vice president of the United States also noted that the United States did not change the readiness of its nuclear forces.
Earlier US President Joe Biden in an interview with ABC News judicial Suspending Russia’s participation in the Strategic Offensive Weapons Treaty (START) is a “big mistake”. At the same time, he noted that Moscow’s withdrawal from START does not mean discussing the use of intercontinental missiles. According to him, the United States does not record changes in the readiness of Russia’s nuclear forces.
On February 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced his decision to suspend the New START during a message to the Federal Assembly. On February 22, the State Duma and later the Federation Council unanimously approved the relevant bill.
