Russia and U.S. discussing resumption of inspections under START-3

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Moscow and Washington are conducting a dialogue on the issue of resuming inspections under START-3.


According to RIA Novosti, a face-to-face meeting of the advisory commission is also being discussed.

Inspection activities under the Treaty have been suspended since the beginning of 2020 by mutual agreement with the United States due to the coronavirus pandemic, Zakharova recalled.

“The issue of its resumption, of course, is being considered, a dialogue is being conducted through the appropriate channels on how the parties could return to the full implementation of the Treaty in this part of its control mechanism,” Zakharova said at a briefing.

The diplomat noted that it is primarily about the activities of the bilateral consultative commission.

“At the moment, the possibility of holding her face-to-face session is being studied,” Zakharova summed up.
