The Pentagon says what is happening with the nuclear forces of the Russian Federation

The United States did not change the positions of its strategic forces after Russia withdrew from the strategic offensive arms treaty. No change in Russia either.

The United States does not note changes in the position of the strategic nuclear forces of the Russian Federation after the announcement of the suspension of participation in START. About that reported US Department of Defense spokesman Patrick Ryder.

“We are saddened that they have decided to suspend their participation in the agreement. It is irresponsible, given the possible consequences,” Ryder said.

At the same time, he noted that at the present time there is no record of Russia changing the configuration of its nuclear capabilities.

“On the position of the strategic forces of the Russian Federation, we have not seen any signs that it has changed, and we have not changed our position either,” the Pentagon spokesman added.

It was previously reported that the United States has deployed strategic bombers to Europe.

Recall that on February 21, in a speech to the Federal Assembly, Russian President Vladimir Putin used nuclear threats and announced the suspension of Russia’s participation in the START Treaty.

The Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) is the only remaining element of the former comprehensive system of arms control treaties between the United States and Russia. This agreement also limits the number of strategic nuclear weapons, such as long-range missiles.

Under START, each country can have no more than 800 nuclear weapons carriers and no more than 1,550 warheads. In February 2021, US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin extended the agreement until 2026.
