NATO chief urges Russia to revert suspension of New START nuclear treaty

The NATO chief called on Russia to withdraw its decision to suspend the New START nuclear treaty.

"I'm calling on Russia today to reconsider its decision to suspend participation in the New START agreement," Jens Stoltenberg said at a joint news conference after he met with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba and EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell.

He stated that more "nuclear weapons and fewer arms control make the world more dangerous" and stressed the importance of a rules-based world order.
