Commenting on Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Arms Control Mallory Stewart's statement this week that the US is ready to quickly start talks on a new arms control framework to replace the New START Treaty when it expires in 2026, the diplomat said that such remarks are not supported by substantive appeals via working channels and only pursue propaganda purposes.

In principle, we remain open to dialogue with Washington on deescalation, maintaining strategic stability and risk reduction measures, including using arms control tools, but this is possible only on the basis of equality and respect for the interests of our country," Zakharova told reporter.
