NATO calls on Russia to fulfill its obligations under the Treaty on Strategic Offensive Weapons for International Stability.
It is noted that Russia has decided to withdraw its nuclear facilities from inspection activities and rejected the request of the USA to hold a meeting to resolve the problems that have arisen.
"NATO Allies continue to believe that effective arms control is a significant contribution to achieving our security goals. The new treaty on SNO meets the national security interests of all states, including NATO Allies," NATO said in a statement. .
NATO calls on Russia to fulfill its obligations under the treaty, resume inspections on its territory and return to consultations within the framework of bilateral commission sessions.
It is worth noting that the Treaty on Strategic Offensive Arms limits the number of deployed intercontinental-range nuclear weapons that the US and Russia can have. It was last extended at the beginning of 2021 for five years.
