Russia's parliament prepares to approve suspension of New START.
Story by Reuters • Yesterday 5:28 pm

Russian officials on Wednesday blamed the United States and the West for President Vladimir Putin's decision to suspend Moscow's participation in the New START treaty, as Russia's parliament was set to rubber-stamp the move.

Putin announced the suspension in a speech on Tuesday, as U.S. President Joe Biden vowed to keep supporting and standing up for Ukraine as the first anniversary of the Russian aggression nears.

Ex-President Dmitry Medvedev, who is now deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, said the move was a "long overdue" response to the United States and NATO effectively declaring war on Russia.

"This decision was forced on us by the war declared by the United States and other NATO countries on our country. It will have a huge resonance in the world overall and in the United States in particular," Medvedev said in a post on the Telegram messaging app.

Medvedev also called for the nuclear arsenals of Britain and France to be included in future arms control agreements between Russia and the West.

Russia's parliament is expected to rubber-stamp the move to suspend the treaty, possibly as early as Wednesday.

The head of Russia's Duma, the lower house of parliament, also blamed the United States for the breakdown.

"By ceasing to comply with its obligations and rejecting our country's proposals on global security issues, the United States destroyed the architecture of international stability," Vyacheslav Volodin said in a statement.

Russia's moves have sparked concern in Washington and European capitals.

Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, who oversees Russia's arms control diplomacy with the United States, said on Wednesday that the possible resumption of the treaty depended on Washington, as he also said Moscow was keeping a close eye on NATO's other nuclear powers, Britain and France.

"We will obviously pay special attention to what line and what decisions London and Paris are taking, which can no longer, even hypothetically, be considered outside of the Russian-U.S. dialogue on nuclear arms control," the TASS news agency quoted Ryabkov as saying.

"In London, the road in front of the Russian Embassy was painted in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. This was done by activists of the Led by Donkeys group. They decided to remind the Russians on the anniversary of the invasion that Ukraine is independent and still resists occupation."

"Mikhail Abdalkin, deputy of Samara council (Russia), listened to Putin's address with noodles on his ears.

"Hang noodles on ears" - idiom meaning to mislead or fool a person. "Don't hang noodles on my ears!" - means don't fool me, don't lie to me."

Putin says Russia to deploy Sarmat nuclear missiles.
Story by Reuters • Yesterday 7:18 pm

By Guy Faulconbridge.

MOSCOW (Reuters) -President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that Russia would pay increased attention to boosting its nuclear forces by deploying a much delayed new intercontinental ballistic missile, rolling out hypersonic missiles and adding new nuclear submarines.

A year since ordering the invasion of Ukraine, Putin has signaled he is ready to rip up the architecture of nuclear arms control - including the big powers' moratorium on nuclear testing - unless the West backs off in Ukraine.

Putin on Tuesday sought to underscore Russian resolve in Ukraine by suspending a landmark nuclear arms control treaty, announcing new strategic systems had been put on combat duty and warning that Moscow could resume nuclear tests.

In an address to mark "Defender of the Fatherland" public holiday, known in Soviet times as Red Army Day, Putin invoked the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany to argue that Russia needed modernized armed forces to guarantee its sovereignty.

"As before, we will pay increased attention to strengthening the nuclear triad," Putin said, referring to nuclear missiles based on land, sea and in the air, in an address broadcast on state television.

Putin, who casts the conflict in Ukraine as an existential struggle to defend Russia against what he sees as an arrogant and aggressive West, said the Sarmat silo-based intercontinental ballistic missiles would be deployed this year.

The RS-28 Sarmat liquid-fueled missile, nicknamed "Satan 2", was first announced by Putin in 2018. The missiles were supposed to have been deployed last year.
Putin warns Russia will react 'accordingly' to military threats by the West and Ukraine.

CNN reported that the United States believes Russia carried out a test of the Sarmat just before U.S. President Joe Biden visited Ukraine earlier this week but that the test failed. The Russian defense ministry has not commented on that report.

Nuclear weapons are Russia’s last ‘vestige of being a great power’.

A clip from the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly session. Latvian representative says "Russian warship, go fuck yourself".


"The representative of Latvia addressed the representatives of the terrorist country with "dignity" and showed their delegation the way at the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly session on February 23-24 [2023] in Vienna. During the terrorists' barking, the deputies stood up and left the hall.

Earlier, MP Yaroslav Yurchyshyn said that his colleagues from the anti-putin coalition would try to block and interfere with russian delegates, and "every time they will try to emphasize that the Parliamentary Assembly is actually leveling itself by allowing people who will be responsible for war crimes to attend, contrary to all decisions of European structures."

Our partners show a clear position on the actions of a failed state. We are grateful to all our allies who understand that international organizations become an empty place when the foundation on which they stand turns into brittle sand because of the criminals who are part of it."
