Report: Russia violates nuclear pact terms

A newly released U.S. State Department report highlights mounting concerns over Russia’s failure to comply with key verification provisions of the New START Treaty.

The violations, which include refusal to facilitate inspection activities and failure to provide regular data updates, undermine the United States’ ability to verify Russia’s adherence to the treaty’s deployed warhead limits.

The New START Treaty, a cornerstone of arms control between the two nuclear superpowers, imposes a cap of 1,550 nuclear warheads on deployed intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), and deployed heavy bombers. Despite Russia’s suspension of the treaty in February 2023, Moscow has claimed it continues to abide by the central limits on strategic offensive arms. However, U.S. officials are skeptical.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
