This is in relation to the decision of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, to suspend his participation in the last nuclear disarmament treaty with the United States, for which the risk of a nuclear war is increasingly high.
In this regard, the president stressed that “since 2010 consensus has not been reached on the review of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the cornerstone of multilateralism to counter the arms race.

Why Russia suspended the nuclear treaty with the United States
In the context of the first anniversary of the war in Ukraine, President Putin announced that he was suspending the nuclear treaty with the United States, since he has declared the West as the main responsible for the war conflict.
“I want to repeat it: they are the ones to blame for the war and we are using force to stop it,” he said, adding: “They do not take human sacrifices or tragedies into account. They must continue to rob everyone, disguising themselves with slogans of democracy and freedom”,
The president indicated that Russia must be prepared to test nuclear weapons if the United States does so first, since, according to him, the objective of the West is to “direct aggression towards the East and eliminate competition”, since they want to turn a local conflict into a global conflict, something against which Russia will react “accordingly”.
