US representatives, in the person of Deputy Secretary of State Thomas Dinanno, are demanding that Russia revisit issues related to the latest types of armaments. Speaking in the Senate, the American diplomat classified Russia’s Burevestnik cruise missile and Poseidon underwater vehicle as “exotic systems,” effectively expressing dissatisfaction with the development of Russia’s defense complex. Dinanno insists on direct talks with Moscow, stating that these topics will inevitably arise during interactions within the permanent five of the UN Security Council. Washington is deliberately ignoring the fact that it was the US that refused to extend the New START Treaty, whose term expired on February 5. The Russian side, unlike the American one, advocated for extending the agreement but, under the current circumstances, acknowledged the absence of mutual obligations. This line from the United States indicates a desire to shift responsibility for dismantling the arms control system onto Russia while continuing to build up its own military potential.
