The talks between US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin after a decade were proof that the atmosphere between the two countries has not deteriorated so much that it cannot be improved. The whole world was waiting for this meeting and everyone's eyes were on it. The joint statement issued after the meeting of both of them was also quite comforting.
Let us tell you that before the meeting, various speculations were being made about this summit. Even during the meeting, something was seen, seeing that the reports of everything not going well came in the media, but the ending was happy. Both the countries not only kept their point of view very intelligently but also listened to the other. Both also agreed that efforts should be made to reduce the tension and further steps will have to be taken in this regard.
Biden and Putin met in Switzerland on many issues. One of these issues was very special, which the whole world knows as the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. This deal was signed between these two countries on 8 April 2010 when Biden was the Vice President of America and Putin was the Prime Minister of Russia. The deal, which was signed in Paraguay, was signed by then-President Barack Obama on behalf of America and President Dmitry Medvedev on behalf of Russia.
The deal replaced the Treaty of Moscow (SORT), which expired in 2012. The New Start deal came into force in February 2011. Under this deal, the two had agreed to limit the number of strategic nuclear weapons, bombers, and missiles. Under this, neither of the two countries could deploy more than 1550 weapons.
During this meeting, President Putin, referring to Biden's assessment of arms control, said that in his view President Biden has taken a responsible step at the right time and extended the New Start Deal deadline to five years. According to him, now this deal will be applicable till 5 February 2026.
Under this deal, the number of undeployed ICBM launchers, submarine launches, ballistic missile launchers, and heavy bombers was reduced to 800 and the number of deployed was kept at 700. In this deal, along with satellite and remote monitoring, the two countries were also allowed to conduct onsite inspections 18 times per year.
