Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday that he was ready to extend by one more year the last arms control treaty between Washington and Moscow, which expires in February.
“As a result of destructive steps by Western countries, the foundation of constructive relations and practical cooperation between nuclear-armed states has been significantly undermined,” Putin said.
Putin added that the termination of the 2010 New START would have negative consequences for global stability.
“To avoid provoking a further strategic arms race and to ensure an acceptable level of predictability and restraint, we consider it justified to attempt to preserve the status quo established by the New START Treaty during this rather turbulent period,” he said.

Do one with russia and china this time
The Soviets had one of those with the USA, so the US circumvented it with the failed SDI program. The one thing the two countries have in common is, you can trust them as far as you can throw them.
Putin ❤ is brilliant. As usual.
What about Trump?…
Putin is just trying to legitimize his and NATO's existence by making up arms race stories which are impossible due to pretty much every countries beyond the red Bank accounts.
Useless if it is temporary.
Putin is scared of the US.
Great Leader 🇷🇺💪❤️
See it's what trump wonts not ukraine
Nope ignore him, JFK and Nikita Khrushchev, first went that route, the Cold War is still on
He has lost his mind
Trump won 3 elections. He is determined to have world peace.
Putin is so scared 😂
Putin world no. 1 leader.
In other words “we aren’t able to keep up with you” which I don’t know how he couldn’t see before this even started, even China is in the Stone Age compared to the US in terms of its military, in the last 25 years China has put about 3 trillion dollars into its military, the US have put about 17 trillion into its military in 25 years, Russia being even lower then China
But he keeps going,so no thanks
A pact always is prelude to lies about not doing later
Good idea !!!
Putin playing with trump.
