Commentary by Russian military journalist Bros Rozhin:

[ColonelCassad] The State Duma and the Federation Council officially approved the document on the suspension of START-3. It remains for Putin to sign and that's it.

Although this is an official suspension and the door to renew the treaty has been left, but given the complete inadequacy of the United States, in the case of a temporary suspension, the saying "There is nothing more permanent than temporary" works.

Therefore, START-3 is in fact going down in history, and the future treaty on strategic stability and nuclear weapons will be concluded after the war in Ukraine or at its end, already on new conditions reflecting the current realities of the new world order, possibly taking into account some elements of the old treaty . But in any case, it will not be the same as before.

Biden said he considers Russia's withdrawal from the START-3 treaty "a big mistake."

Of course, from the point of view of the United States, Russia should have made concessions to the United States on issues of strategic stability, simultaneously turning a blind eye to American violations and profanities. At the same time, American puppets, at the suggestion of the United States, voice calls aimed at destroying nuclear parity or even seizing Russian nuclear weapons. So, under such conditions, it would be a "big mistake" to continue implementing START-3, which has turned into a profanation of itself.
