Russia has agreed to talks with the US on disarmament and strategic stability. President Vladimir Putin told the Italian newspaper „Il Corriere della Sera“ (Thursday’s edition) that he talked to US President Donald Trump at the G20 summit in Japan last week.
It looks like Washington has begun to think about a broad strategic agenda through dialogue with Russia. „I believe that it would strengthen international stability if concrete measures were taken in the field of disarmament. Russia has the political will to do so.
Now it’s up to the US. “
Russia yesterday officially dropped out of the INF disarmament agreement. Putin signed a bill according to which the decision on the resumption of the agreement lies with the President. In the INF Treaty of 1987, Russia and the US had established a ban on medium-range nuclear missiles with a range of between 500 and 5,500 kilometers.
