Russian Presidential Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated on Tuesday that it would be "unreasonable" to engage in negotiations on the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) without acknowledging the current geopolitical context.

In a press conference, Peskov emphasized that Russia would not proceed with the talks as if "nothing has happened," highlighting the need to adapt negotiations to the new realities.

The comments come amid strained relations between Russia and the United States that further complicate arms control efforts.
