Russia Rules Out All Nuclear Talks With US Until It Adopts A ‘Sane’ Approach<\/span><\/p>\n

A top Russian diplomat stressed that the Kremlin is unwilling to engage with the White House on arms control issues<\/strong> due to the Biden administration\u2019s Russophobic stance<\/strong>. Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov argued that President Donald Trump left the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF Treaty) to provoke China.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In an interview with\u00a0The International Affairs\u00a0published<\/a>\u00a0on Monday, Ryabkov explained Moscow\u2019s position on arms control talks with Washington. “We do not have the foundation right now and we are not even close to shaping one in order to launch a tentative dialogue, not talks even, in this field. This is a result of Washington\u2019s destructive policy course<\/strong>,” he stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Until [the US] clearly show some change for the better in their policy, at the very least, demonstrate that this boundless and unabashed Russophobia <\/strong>has been set aside and is replaced with a slightly more sane approach<\/strong>,” he said, adding, “until this happens, there simply can be no dialogue on strategic stability.”<\/p>\n

Since the end of the Cold War, Washington has abandoned a series of agreements that limited the US and Russia\u2019s conventional as well as nuclear arsenals. Additionally, the Kremlin left the New Start Treaty in response to the White House\u2019s support for Kiev.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The deterioration of the global arms control agreement has coincided with a rise in spending on nuclear weapons and arms overall.<\/strong> Both Beijing and Moscow view the launchers as highly provocative. Ryabkov argued Trump left the INF Treaty to build intermediate-range missiles to intimidate China.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Americans needed to withdraw from the treaty in order to create such systems to intimidate the People\u2019s Republic of China,”\u00a0Ryabkov said<\/a>. “And it is no coincidence that we have recently had a sharply intensified discussion about when and where the Americans might begin to deploy their medium-range weapons in the Asia-Pacific region.”<\/p>\n

Recently, Washington and Moscow have taken steps to use arms limited by the INF Treaty. The agreement barred land-based missiles, and launchers, with a range of 300-3,400 miles. The US has deployed a covert launcher for intermediate-range missiles to Denmark and the Philippines for war games<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin\u00a0said\u00a0<\/a>Moscow would begin producing weapons that the INF Treaty outlawed. “We need to start production of these strike systems and then, based on the actual situation, make decisions about where \u2014 if necessary to ensure our safety \u2014 to place them,” he stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
