Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov reportedly defended Moscow's decision to suspend the New START nuclear arms treaty as "unshakeable."
"Talking to the Russian Federation in the language of ultimatums just does not work," Ryabkov is quoted as having told Russia’s three main news agencies Saturday, according to Reuters. "Through the fault of the United States, many elements of the former architecture in this area have either been completely destroyed or moved in a semi-lethal state."
