The Kremlin is sure that all leading NATO countries would have declared their main goal to inflict a strategic defeat on Moscow – in order to make the Russian people suffer. The heavy involvement in the war in Ukraine has changed the perception of the alliance. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stressed: “NATO is no longer just our adversary, but our enemy.”
Western intelligence services “work against us 24/7”. “Ukraine gets free guns to shoot at us,” Peskov said in an interview with the Russian daily Izvestia.
As for the mass criticism of Russia’s partial withdrawal from the New Start Nuclear Weapons Treaty, the press spokesperson says that all points of the treaty will not be honored again until the government in Washington responds to Moscow’s position. “The attitude of the collective West, led by the United States, must change towards Moscow,” Peskov continued. The security of one country cannot be at the expense of the security of another country.
What Obama and Medvedev agreed on
On April 8, 2010, US President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed the New START treaty in Prague, valid until 2020. This provides for a reduction in the number of nuclear warheads from 2,200 to 1,550 each and the number of delivery systems from 1,600 to 800 for the next seven years after ratification of the treaty. At the end of January 2021, Putin signed a negotiated agreement with the US to extend New START for another five years.
