“I am not in favor of boarding up a “window to Europe” now, it may come in handy. But until there are mental changes in the countries of Europe, until they abandon the ideology of destroying Russia and curbing its development and its role in the world, of course, there can be no talk of restoring relations with the West,— she said.

According to her, Russia needs at least minimal contacts with Europe and now she supports them.

“But in conditions when the policy is aimed at destroying our country to the detriment of the interests of its own citizens and economies, we definitely do not need relations with such a West, and Russia does not need relations with such a West,” — speaker counts.

Barack Obama (left) and Dmitry Medvedev sign the START treaty on April 8, 2010 in Prague, Czech Republic

The United States wants START 3 nuclear arms restrictions to continue beyond the treaty's expiration, Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control Mallory Stewart said at the Arms Control Association's annual meeting. “We [also] want to limit the new kinds of nuclear systems that Russia is developing,” she added.

According to Stewart, Washington would like the new agreement to take into account not only intercontinental ballistic missiles, but also missiles with a shorter range. Russia “is more likely to <…> will use such weapons in a conflict,” the assistant secretary pointed out, while there are no agreements that would regulate their number or oblige Moscow “to be transparent about their arsenal.”

The diplomat noted that, although the provisions of START -3 were agreed against the background of “a different climate in relations with Russia”, the agreement remains in force.

Stewart noted the importance of dialogue on nuclear security. “Building [nuclear capabilities], reducing communication and lack of transparency are rarely a recipe for increased security and stability,” she warned.

At the end of May, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported that Moscow and Washington were continuing to discuss START-3 and inspections, which the parties had suspended due to the pandemic.

Russia and the United States concluded the START-3 treaty in 2010 for ten years, it entered into force in 2011. The agreement provided for the reduction of each of the parties deployed nuclear warheads to 1500, and intercontinental ballistic missiles, ballistic missiles of submarines and strategic missile-carrying bombers— up to 700.

In recent weeks, the negotiation process between Kyiv and Moscow has stalled. According to Medvedev, this happened due to the influence of Western countries on the leadership of Ukraine, which was ready to negotiate with Moscow at the beginning of the operation

The leadership of Ukraine could achieve a diplomatic settlement of the conflict with Russia, but under the influence of Western countries changed course, and now the chances for a political solution to the issue are falling. Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, stated this in an interview with Al Jazeera TV channel.

“The chances, unfortunately, are not improving, but getting worse. And it's impossible not to notice, — Medvedev said (quote from RIA Novosti).

According to him, there was a time when the Ukrainian leadership demonstrated its readiness to “negotiate on key points”, and at that, in a “relatively realistic position”.

Among the points on which agreement was planned, Medvedev named the recognition of Crimea and Donbass, refusal to participate in NATO, partial demilitarization.

“But at some period— obviously under the influence of those calls that Kyiv hears from Washington and Brussels, & mdash; they suspended these negotiations. Thus, the situation has not improved, and to a certain extent even worsened. The situation is developing in a completely different scenario,»,— Medvedev explained.

He believes that “in essence, the special military operation is further developing.”

“Although they had a chance to try or try to negotiate with us on this subject,” — emphasized the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council.

At the beginning of Russia's military special operation in Ukraine, the delegations of the two countries held three rounds of negotiations, one of which took place at the end of March in Istanbul. Russian troops then stood a few kilometers from Kyiv and Chernigov. Then the Ukrainian side handed over to the Russian side its written proposals on the treaty, they included the non-proliferation of security guarantees for Kyiv on the territory of Crimea and Donbass. The document also stated that for 15 years the parties will negotiate on the peninsula and during this time they will not use military force to resolve the issue. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov then saw in the position of the Ukrainian negotiators an understanding that “the issues of Crimea and Donbass have been finally resolved.”

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky in his televised addresses in February also said that Ukraine was ready to discuss the issue of abandoning the course towards NATO.

However, after the withdrawal of Russian troops from the north of the country and the start of deliveries of Western heavy weapons, both sides stated that the negotiation process has almost reached a dead end.

On May 14, Zelensky said that Ukraine would never recognize Crimea as Russian, and would never recognize the autonomy of the DPR and LPR.

«We are ready to talk with Russia about the fact that not by the time of the decision on the Crimea, <…> let's put this question aside if it complicates the negotiation process. If the issue of Crimea complicates the process of the meeting between the presidents of Ukraine and Russia, let's put this issue aside,” — Zelensky said. He explained that Kyiv offered to postpone the discussion of Crimea “not forever.”

Zelensky has repeatedly stated that he is ready for personal negotiations with Vladimir Putin. In the Kremlin, they answered that a document had to be agreed upon before they could start.
