Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation: Russia's decision to suspend START is unshakable regardless of any US countermeasures

Despite the fact that several months have already passed since the Russian president announced the termination of Russia's participation in the Treaty on the Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms (START), Washington continues to pretend that everything remains the same, trying to impose on Moscow further participation in the Treaty .

There were statements from Washington that Russia's decision had no legal force and about countermeasures that the United States would take against Russia.

According to Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, Moscow does not accept the language of ultimatums, which the American authorities are accustomed to speaking.

Recall that earlier the US State Department announced the termination of the transfer of information about weapons to Russia under the New START Treaty and the revocation of visas for specialists from Russia who were supposed to inspect American facilities under the Treaty. By such measures, Washington probably hoped to force Moscow to resume participation in the New START Treaty. However, as Ryabov stated:

Russia's decision to suspend START is unshakable regardless of any US countermeasures

The Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia also named the conditions for the country's return to the implementation of the START treaties. According to him, for this, Washington needs to stop pursuing a policy hostile to Russia, which, obviously, is not foreseen in the foreseeable future.

Well, thank God ... at least the Foreign Ministry has some respect for itself and for its country so as not to cave in under the United States.

I'm embarrassed to ask, but what does the Foreign Ministry have to do with it? The decision on Russia's participation in the treaties is taken by the Foreign Ministry, and some higher authorities. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs takes part in the development of formulations and their voicing, the essence is not their lot. The decision itself is being worked out in the Security Council... At the same time, I think that the time has come to carry out a real test of nuclear weapons, at least tactical ones. It is very wrong that we only respond to the actions of our enemies. It's time to seize the initiative in your own hands. And if we are in possession of nuclear weapons, then we should not bashfully keep silent about the fact that we are ready to use them. And this is not the time to talk about all sorts of colored lines. It is necessary to conduct tests without any public explanation of what we want and why. They will not respect us anymore, but let them make sure that they are ready to use tactical nuclear weapons. Not prevent....

Suspension is unshakable .. How is it? As I understand it, EXIT from the contract can be unshakable.

Diplomats like to leave the window vents open...that's their nature...in this case, as I understand it, they are hinting to the Americans that things can still be fixed if the US changes its behavior.
But the US only understands force...and only through force can they be forced to change.

[Horon]

But the US only understands force...

Any state, politician and businessman understands serious arguments and facts, but we often have words, words are just words ...
Therefore, in the case of the fact of the existence of force and reasoned demands, any state or politician will quickly come to the conclusion that it is necessary to negotiate with the opponent, and not bring the situation up when the arguments will be materialized by the fact of loss of power, business, or even more life.

Even in the article discrepancies

the Russian president said on termination of participation Russia in the Treaty on the Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms (START)

We read further what Ryabov said

Russia's decision on the suspension START is unshakable

Under the termination of participation, it can be understood that the contract has been terminated, i.e. he is dissolved. And suspension - actions under the agreement are suspended for a certain period until new agreements are reached. So what are we focusing on?
