It is strange to hear talk about the need for a new agreement on the reduction of strategic offensive arms (START) with the United States, while Russia is preparing to equip the first missile regiment in Uzhur in the Krasnoyarsk Territory with modern Sarmatians, Roscosmos CEO Dmitry Rogozin writes in Telegram.
"If the West is afraid of our new strategic weapons, it is purely their fear," said the head of the state corporation.
Thus, Rogozin supported the statement of the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, according to which it is not necessary to unfreeze relations with the United States now, because "let them come running or crawl and ask for it."
In June, the profile assistant to the head of the United States Department of State Mallory Stewart said that the United States wants to maintain restrictions on Russia's nuclear arsenal under the Treaty on Measures for Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms (START-3), as well as introduce limits on new types of weapons, including tactical.
The START-3 Treaty will expire in February 2026.
