Suspension of nuclear pact reversible, Russia signals

Away from Warsaw, Russia has signalled the possibility of compromise on a key nuclear arms agreement with the US.

A decision to suspend participation in the New Start treaty “may be reversible”, according to a post on the Telegram messaging app by the Russian Foreign Ministry.

President Putin announced the suspension in his speech earlier today.

Agreed in 2010 and active the following year, New Start was aimed at preventing a nuclear war. It was the last deal on nukes still in place between the two former Cold War rivals. 

American officials already believed that Moscow was failing to follow the pact. The fresh Russian statement levels the same accusation at Washington.
