"How can we seriously consider the idea of reducing strategic nuclear weapons when the United States is building the ability to intercept these weapons?" Rogozin told reporters after US President Barack Obama said he would seek nuclear arms reduction negotiations with Russia.
Previously, in a speech in Berlin (Germany), US President Barack Obama called on Russia to agree to reduce its strategic nuclear weapons by one-third, and urged Moscow to control the issue of strategic nuclear weapons.
Currently, the issue of the missile shield that the US plans to deploy in Eastern Europe remains a major obstacle in the relationship between the world's two largest superpowers./.
