The document announcing Russia's exit from the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) was presented by Putin to the State Duma.
The effect of the New START Treaty is currently suspended and the decision to restore it rests with the president of Russia. The law will be effective from the time of its official publication.
The treaty was signed by Russia and the United States in Prague on April 8, 2010. It envisages the reduction of the nuclear arsenals of two countries. In his speech to the Federal Assembly on Tuesday, Putin announced the decision to suspend Russia's participation in the treaty.
The president said Russia will not withdraw from the treaty but must know how the nuclear arsenals of other NATO countries, England and France, are calculated under the treaty before the treaty is renewed.
The Russian foreign ministry in a statement earlier said Moscow’s decision was reversible and called on Washington "to show the political will and make good-faith efforts to ensure the resumption of the treaty’s full-fledged operation."
Meanwhile, a senior Russian defense official said on Wednesday Moscow would stick to agreed limits on nuclear missiles and continue to inform the United States of changes in its deployment despite the suspension of the latest arms control treaty with Washington.
