The Kremlin has said that arms control talks with the United States should have been revived immediately, with spokesman Dmitry Peskov describing the need for renewed discussions as pressing, according to TASS.
TASS reported Peskov as saying there is currently no legal framework governing the issue, pointing to a gap left by the lapse or absence of formal arms control arrangements between Moscow and Washington.
The report did not specify which particular arms control treaties or frameworks Peskov was referring to, nor did it indicate whether any new talks have been scheduled between Russian and US officials.
Arms control between Russia and the United States has been a recurring point of tension in recent years, with previous agreements limiting nuclear and other weapons systems having lapsed or come under strain. TASS's report does not provide additional detail on the current state of any bilateral discussions on the topic.
