Russia will continue is attempts to hold substantial consultations with the United States on prolongation of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START), Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Saturday on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference
"So far we were not offered any meaningful consultations but we keep trying," Lavrov said.
The New START Treaty entered into force in 2011. The agreement covers a 10-year period with the possibility of a five-year extension. The treaty is based on several previous joint non-proliferation arrangements and limits the number of deployed intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, nuclear armed bombers, and nuclear warheads. The talks on extending the agreement have been delayed over mutual concerns about compliance.
