While making his announcement, Putin accused NATO and the U.S. of publicly declaring a desire
to see Russia defeated in Ukraine.
.
He also said Russia should be ready
to conduct nuclear weapons tests.
.
They want to inflict a ‘strategic defeat’ on us and try to get to our nuclear facilities at the same time, Vladimir Putin, Russian president, via state-of-the-nation address.
In this context, I have to declare today that Russia is suspending its participation in the Treaty on Strategic Offensive Arms, Vladimir Putin, Russian president, via state-of-the-nation address.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg
addressed Putin's announcement, saying, , “with today’s decision on New START, full arms
control architecture has been dismantled.”.
I strongly encourage Russia to reconsider its decision and respect existing agreements, Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary-General, via statement.
Putin responded by calling the nuclear weapons of Britain and France into question since they aren't included in the pact.
.
They are also aimed against us.
They are aimed against Russia.
, Vladimir Putin, Russian president, via state-of-the-nation address.
Before we return to discussing the treaty, we need to understand what are the aspirations of NATO members Britain and France... , Vladimir Putin, Russian president, via state-of-the-nation address.
... and how we take it into account their strategic arsenals that are part of the alliance’s combined strike potential, Vladimir Putin, Russian president, via state-of-the-nation address
Russia Vetoes UN Resolution , to Prevent Nukes in Space.
The resolution was sponsored
by Japan and the United States.
It called on all nations to refrain from developing or deploying nuclear weapons "or other weapons of mass destruction in space," 'The Guardian' reports. .
A 1967 international treaty
already bans such weapons in space.
Russia’s U.N. Ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia,
vetoed the resolution, calling it "absolutely absurd and politicized," as well as a "dirty spectacle.".
China abstained from voting, while the rest of the 15-member council voted in favor of the resolution. .
Today’s veto begs the question:
Why? Why, if you are following the
rules, would you not support a
resolution that reaffirms them?
What could you possibly be hiding, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. ambassador to the U.N., via 'The Guardian'.
Russia and China would rather establish an
amendment calling on all nations "to prevent for
all time the placement of weapons in outer space, and the threat of use of force in outer spaces.".
We want a ban on the placement of
weapons of any kind in outer space, not
just WMDs [weapons of mass destruction].
But you don’t want that. And let me ask
you that very same question. Why?, Vassily Nebenzia, Russia’s U.N. ambassador, via 'The Guardian'.
Nebenzia went on to say, "if we recall that the U.S. and their allies announced some time ago plans to place weapons … in outer space.".
The U.S.-Japan resolution was announced in March after it was determined that Russia was in possession of "a 'troubling' anti-satellite weapon capability," 'The Guardian' reports.
However, earlier this year, Putin said, , "Our position is clear and transparent: We have always been categorically against and are now against the deployment of nuclear weapons in space."

with whom he worked "hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder to get this bill done.".
A lot of people inside and
outside the Congress wanted this
package to fail. But today those in
Congress who stand on the side of
democracy are winning the day, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, via statement.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell also issued a statement.
Today’s action is overdue, but our work
does not end here. Trust in American
resolve is not rebuilt overnight. Expanding
and restocking the arsenal of democracy
doesn’t just happen by magic, Senate Majority Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, via statement
