In the conditions of today\u2019s confrontation, it sounds like sheer nonsense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said that a week ago he signed an order to deploy new land-based strategic missiles and asked: \u201cAre they also going to poke their noses there?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Russian leader also noted that NATO\u2019s statement on New START raises the issue of the nuclear weapons of Britain and France that are part of the alliance\u2019s nuclear capability but aren\u2019t included in the U.S.-Russian pact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey are also aimed against us. They are aimed against Russia,\u201d he said. \u201cBefore we return to discussing the treaty, we need to understand what are the aspirations of NATO members Britain and France and how we take it into account their strategic arsenals that are part of the alliance\u2019s combined strike potential.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Putin emphasized that Russia is suspending its involvement in New START and not entirely withdrawing from the pact yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The New START treaty, signed in 2010 by U.S. President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, limits each country to no more than 1,550 deployed nuclear warheads and 700 deployed missiles and bombers. The agreement envisages sweeping on-site inspections to verify compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just days before the treaty was due to expire in February 2021, Russia and the United States agreed to extend it for another five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia and the U.S. have suspended mutual inspections under New START since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, but Moscow last fall refused to allow their resumption, raising uncertainty about the pact\u2019s future. Russia also indefinitely postponed a planned round of consultations under the treaty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. State Department has said that Russia\u2019s refusal to allow the inspections \u201cprevents the United States from exercising important rights under the treaty and threatens the viability of U.S.-Russian nuclear arms control.\u201d It noted that nothing prevents Russian inspectors from conducting inspections of U.S. facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Putin on Tuesday challenged the U.S. assertion, alleging that Washington has rejected some Russian requests for visits to specific U.S. facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe aren\u2019t allowed to conduct full-fledged inspections under the treaty,\u201d he said. \u201cWe can\u2019t really check anything on their side.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He alleged that the U.S. was working on nuclear weapons and some in the U.S. were pondering plans to resume nuclear tests banned under the global test ban that took effect after the end of the Cold War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn this situation, Rosatom (Russia\u2019s state nuclear corporation) and the Defense Ministry must ensure readiness for Russian nuclear weapons tests,\u201d Putin said. \u201cWe naturally won\u2019t be the first to do it, but if the U.S. conducts tests we will also do it. No one should have dangerous illusions that the global strategic parity could be destroyed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaking in his state-of-the-nation address,
