Vladimir Putin delivered his annual speech Tuesday just one day after President Biden visited Ukraine and three days before the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion.
announced Tuesday that Russia was pulling back from the new START treaty with the United States which reduces and limits each country's nuclear arsenal.
The speech reiterated a litany of grievances that the Russian leader has frequently offered as justification for the widely condemned war and ignored international demands to pull back from occupied areas in Ukraine. The New START treaty, first signed in April 2010, limits the U.S. and Russia from having more than 1,550 nuclear warheads deployed on delivery systems like intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missile or heavy bombers.
