If sharing is caring, Russia could not care less about the United States. On March 29, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Moscow was halting all information exchanges with Washington.
Russia already said it was pulling out of the new START treaty. It was the last arms control pact between the U.S. and Russia. The decision meant Russia stopped sharing basic information about its nuclear weapons program with the U.S., like how many warheads it had and their condition.
Moscow justified the withdrawal from the START treaty by saying it couldn’t accept the agreement at a time when Washington and its NATO allies have openly declared Russia’s defeat in Ukraine as their goal. The U.S. originally offered to continue providing information about its own nuclear weapons to Russia even after President Vladimir Putin suspended his country’s participation in the treaty. The U.S. has since stopped sharing that information as well.
