United States Seeking Reasons to Quit START-3
Russia's development of hypersonic missiles could interfere with the extension of the START-3 treaty, according to the White House. According to Washington, the Avangard missile system, which will go into service with the Russian Strategic Missile Forces by the end of this year, violates the provisions of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty.
Meanwhile, the United States itself says that Washington is looking for an excuse not to extend START-3. About this RIA News said Thomas Cantriman, former assistant secretary of state for international security and non-proliferation.

Earlier, unwillingness to extend said John Bolton, who claims that the contract "has flaws." At the same time, the United States does not exclude the development of a new agreement, to which, in addition to Russia, China should join. However, Beijing has already stated that it does not intend to accede to any treaties.
