Russian Foreign Ministry: Moscow temporarily withdraws its facilities from inspections under the DSNV-3 due to US actions

Russia has decided to temporarily withdraw its nuclear facilities from US inspections as part of the treaty on further mutual reduction of the arsenals of deployed strategic nuclear weapons.
