The Russian president made the announcement in the course of a major annual address to lawmakers on Tuesday focused on the security crisis in Ukraine and the broader global tensions between the West and Russia.

Russia will be suspending its participation in the New Strategic Arms Reduction (New START) Treaty, President Vladimir Putin has announced.

Explaining the decision, Putin noted that the agreement was initially drawn up under completely different circumstances when Russia and the US did not perceive each other as adversaries. Now, however, according to the president, not only is the US issuing ultimatums to Russia, but NATO itself has essentially made an application to become part of the treaty as well.

This proxy that we are fighting against Russia right now could turn at any moment into a direct conflict between the United States/NATO and Russia,” she said, warning that “anyone with a little bit of common sense” knows that “ a Cold War can at any moment turn into a hot war against a nuclear-armed country.”
