The Deputy Minister also emphasized that there is no slowdown in processing the agenda of negotiations with the United States. There is only a technical pause.
Addition
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) stated that the Kremlin seems to be abandoning the prospect of bilateral negotiations with the United States on arms control in order to obtain preemptive concessions from the United States regarding the war in Ukraine.
Russia continues its tactics of ultimatums and diplomatic manipulations instead of real steps towards peace. The Kremlin demands that NATO stop expanding and reduce its contingent in Eastern Europe.
