The US Department of State is planning to meet with Russia on START-3.
One can hardly expect a warming of relations between Russia and the United States in the near future, however, one cannot deny the desire of the American administration to establish contacts with Moscow, which manifested itself after the completion of the investigation of special prosecutor Mueller.
In an interview with Defense One, US Under Secretary of State Andrea Thompson said Washington and Moscow had scheduled meetings to discuss the Strategic Arms Reduction and Limitation Treaty (START-3).
The host asked Thompson if she had discussed with her colleagues from China and Russia the possibility of extending START-3 as part of the international forum on security issues in the Asia-Pacific region, which was held in Singapore, to which the American official replied that these polls should be discussed at a higher level and such a discussion is “expected”.
She also added that, first of all, military cooperation agreements will be discussed with the Russian and Chinese sides.
Recall that START-3 is a bilateral agreement between Russia and the United States, signed in 2010 in Prague by US President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev for a period of 10 years with a possible extension by agreement of the parties for the next 5 years.
