Russia and the United States have hidden from each other key information about nuclear weapons - the media
According to John Plumba, the Pentagon Assistant Pentagon Assistant, according to the agreement, every half year of the Russian Federation and the US should provide each other with some nuclear weapons. "Russia replied that it would not provide this information. And because the diplomatic counter -confidence of the United States will not provide this information in response," said Plyamb.
The Assistant Minister believes that the Kremlin is engaged in "rattling nuclear weapons" because Russia has not been able to achieve its strategic military goals in Ukraine. According to him, such behavior is "irresponsible. " John Plyamb also noted that the US is working to determine whether diplomatic countermeasures will be appropriate in this situation.
"What we try to do is balance both the reaction to the irresponsible behavior of Russia, and continue to demonstrate what, in our opinion, the actions of a responsible nuclear state should be," said the Assistant to Pentagon. The US National Security Council spokesman stated in a comment to CNN that "legitimate countermeasures" were used on the US side. At the same time, he stressed the need to return to the SNO and observe the transparency of the US nuclear weapons and the Russian Federation.
