The U.S. is offering Russia and China talks on nuclear arms control "without preconditions" This does not mean that nuclear powers will not be held accountable for their "reckless behavior," said US President Joe Biden's national security adviser, Jake Sullivan.
At the beginning of the year, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared the last major agreement on nucleararms control, the "New Start" treaty with the United States, suspended. This limits the nuclear arsenals of both countries and regulates inspections.
