"In February of this year, the New START Treaty was not extended due to Washington's position. Having ignored our earlier constructive proposal to maintain restraint and predictability in the strategic sphere, the US declared that they now have a 'free hand' and can act from a position of strength," the diplomat said.He noted that the US is not yet officially discussing a direct increase in the number of nuclear warheads.“Incidentally, we have long been discussing the US' unlawful exclusion of several dozen delivery platforms from the START Treaty," he added.
