On February 21, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin announced the suspension of Russia's participation in the Strategic Offensive Arms Treaty (START). This indicates that either the Kremlin is ashamed to show its nuclear weapons, or it does not exist at all.

This opinion was expressed on the air of Channel 24 by the ex-employee of the KGB and the Foreign Intelligence Service of Russia Sergey Zhirnov. According to him, Russia does not have the ability to violate the terms of the START, because the state of its nuclear weapons is constantly deteriorating.

Recognition of the weakness of Russia

Zhirnov noted that such statements by the Russian dictator are PR. Inspections of nuclear weapons under this agreement have not been carried out for more than a year. He emphasized that Russia does not have the ability to violate the terms of START , because the state of its nuclear weapons is constantly deteriorating.

It was a confession of Russia's weakness. What did Putin say? He said: the most important thing is that they no longer conduct nuclear weapons inspections with the help of American inspectors and vice versa, he believes.

The ex-KGB officer explained that even though Putin has been threatening the whole world with a nuclear war for more than a year, in order to press that very “red button”, you need to have a weapon that works . Russia should have given the United States the opportunity to make sure that nuclear weapons exist.

“Suddenly Putin says that they refuse to let American inspectors in. This suggests that Putin either does not have nuclear weapons, or they are in such a state that he is ashamed to show them to American inspectors,” Zhirnov is convinced.

Russia withdrew from START: what is known

• During his address to the federal assembly on February 21, Putin announced a temporary halt to Russia's participation in the New START Treaty. At the same time, he stressed that the terrorist country is just suspending participation, and not withdrawing from the treaty. Subsequently, the head of the State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, said that Putin had put the relevant bill to a vote. The bill will enter into force on the day of its publication.
• Putin said that this decision was “forced” and dictated by the need to ensure the security of Russia, because the nuclear countries continue to develop their weapons and “ignite the escalation of the Ukrainian conflict.” He also complained that Western countries used the treaty to try to inflict a strategic defeat on the aggressor country.
• In addition, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that the terrorist country would not increase its nuclear arsenal after the suspension of the treaty. In a statement, the departments have traditionally placed the responsibility for the decision to suspend the START on the United States. ️
• Already on February 28, the dictator signed the corresponding law. According to this law, the contract is suspended from the same day that the document was officially published.
