Dmitry Medvedev, now deputy head of Russia’s Security Council, said he had told Washington repeatedly that major issues, like a framework to replace the New START treaty, could not be done without Russian involvement.
“All this, of course, is good. But let me say it once again – the situation now is much worse than in the Cold War,” wrote Medvedev, who served as president for four years while Vladimir Putin was prime minister. A Russian foreign ministry source had earlier expressed puzzlement about Biden’s proposal to negotiate the New START Treaty when it expires in 2026.
“Is this a serious statement or has the White House website been hacked?” a Russian foreign ministry source told Reuters. “If this is still a serious intention, with whom exactly do they intend to discuss it?”
He is right..
Befitting response from former Russian President. US call is outdated and out of sync with the realities of the new world order.
