The number of Russia’s nuclear weapons has been reduced. It also continues to implement the New START. Still, it is estimated to possess approximately 7,000 nuclear warheads, and has actively developed and deployed new ICBMs and SLBMs for replacing aged delivery vehicles. Furthermore, Russia is alleged to have violated the INF Treaty. It voted against most of the UNGA Resolutions regarding nuclear disarmament, and showed a negative attitude to the issues on humanitarian dimensions as well as legal prohibition of nuclear weapons, in particular. It neither participated in the negotiation conference of the TPNW, nor signed the treaty. It continued to repeat nuclear saber-rattling vis-à-vis the U.S. and NATO. |
