A new agreement on strategic offensive weapons will unlikely be reached by 2021 because of the current confrontation between Moscow and Washington, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said on Friday.
SAN FRANCISCO (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 13th October, 2018) A new agreement on strategic offensive weapons will unlikely be reached by 2021 because of the current confrontation between Moscow and Washington, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said on Friday.
"All the more pressing issue is what will happen to nuclear disarmament after 2021, when the New START is set to expire," Antonov said at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, California. "Due to a deep crisis in the Russia-US relations it would be naive to assume that our countries are likely to conclude a new treaty on strategic offensive arms by 2021."
