Regular inspections under the agreement, to make sure neither side is cheating, were put on hold in March 2020 during the pandemic. The two countries have the vast majority of all deployable warheads. and NATO openly say their goal is to see Russia's strategic defeat. U.S. Missing from Putin's address was any discussion of Russia's significant setbacks on the battlefield and its evident failure in the early days of the war to occupy Kyiv and remove Ukraine's democratically elected government.

पुतिन ने अपने संबोधन में कहा कि डोनबास इलाके में शांति स्थापित करने के लिए हमने हरसंभव कोशिश की। वर्ष 2014 के बाद से ही डोनबास काफी संवेदनशील क्षेत्र बना हुआ है। यूक्रेन में लगातार हो रहे हमलों के बाद भी डोनबास के लोग साल भर तक टिके रहे। उन्हें उम्मीद थी कि रूस उनके बचाव में आएगा। लेकिन हमारी पीठ के पीछे अलग ही साजिश तैयार की जा रही थी। पुतिन ने कहा कि पश्चिमी देश ही इस युद्ध के गुनहगार हैं और हम सिर्फ इसे रोकने के लिए सेना का इस्तेमाल कर रहे हैं। पुतिन ने अपने भाषण में दावा किया कि सैन्य अभियान से कीव ने हथियारों की आपूर्ति को लेकर पश्चिम के साथ बातचीत की थी। पश्चिम ने निंदनीय रूप से अपने ही लोगों को धोखा दिया है। उन्होंने कहा, 'मैं पहले ही कई बार कह चुका हूं कि यूक्रेन के लोग पश्चिमी देशों के बंधक बन गए हैं और इस देश को राजनीतिक, सैन्य और आर्थिक रूप से कब्जा कर लिया है।' Putin address to the Russian Parliament यूक्रेन पर रूस के हमले की पहली सालगिरह से कुछ दिन पहले अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति जो बाइडेन अचानक कीव पहुंचे। इसी कड़ी में आज यानी मंगलवार को रूस के राष्ट्रपति व्लादिमीर पुतिन ने रूसी संसद में भाषण दिया।

Mr Putin's speech barely touched on the progress of Russia's military in Ukraine and there was no indication of how the war might end. Russia's president did announce he was suspending the New Start nuclear arms control treaty signed with the US in 2010.

Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the West of starting the Ukraine war and that "Russia is using force to stop it".

He also said that Russia needs to be ready to test nuclear weapons if the US does so first.

Russian leader says war is about Russia's right to exist, as US president describes it as a battle for freedom, in vastly different speeches.

The capture of the whole of Ukraine, a county that had apparently fallen under the control of undemocratic western elites, was not explicitly mentioned. With the anniversary of this war so close to that of the Iraq war, regime change did not pass his lips. By contrast, Putin, in his two-hour soporific State of the Union address, placed less emphasis on universal values and more on Russia’s interests and own security. The White House was not averse to a bit of war time glitz. Biden also had the advantage of the symbolism of the venue. Both men also implicitly tied their own futures to the outcome of this war, saying their opponent was bound to lose.

Putin Blames War on West, Suspends Nuclear Disarmament Pact (The Wire)

He said Russia must stand ready to resume nuclear weapons tests if Washington does so.

“Russia stops fighting the war in Ukraine and goes home, the war ends. And in the Russian nuclear code, it says that they would only use nuclear weapons if their state’s very existence was threatened,” Walker said. His last state of the nation address was in April 2021, before Russia invaded Ukraine. “Launch new projects, make money, invest in Russia,” he added. “Trying to run around with your hand outstretched, groveling, begging for money, is pointless,” he said. And he can choose even now to end it, to go home,” Sullivan said. “Putin must not win,” he adds. He said that the law would then be sent to the upper house of parliament, the Federation Council. The war has killed thousands, displaced millions and reduced towns to rubble. “But a completely different scenario was being prepared behind our backs.” Russia’s last major nuclear disarmament treaty with the US had come into force in 2011. He said Russia must stand ready to resume nuclear weapons tests if Washington does so.

Rose Gottemoeller, who served as chief US negotiator of New START, added that the suspension would also pose a problem for Russia. John Erath, senior policy director for the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, said in an interview with the Washington Post that the move is “entirely symbolic”. He said that currently Russia would abide by the limits, but it would be difficult to verify compliance. It is important to note here that Washington and Moscow own 90 per cent of the world’s nuclear weapons.

Furthermore, he said that in the current situation, Russia’s ministry of defence and State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom (ROSATOM) should make sure that Moscow is “ready to test its nuclear weapons”. As mentioned earlier, the treaty limits Russia and the US’ nuclear arsenal while the countries have also committed to deploying no more than 1,550 strategic nuclear warheads and a maximum of 700 long-range missiles and bombers. During his speech, on Tuesday, the Russian president announced the suspension of the New START treaty with the US which limits the number of strategic nuclear warheads that Washington and Moscow can deploy. During his address, the Russian president also went on to say that the “anti-Russian sanctions are only a tool, but the goal - as they themselves declare…is to make our citizens suffer.” In 2022, the Russian economy contracted by 2.1 per cent, reported the government-run statistics agency Rosstat, on Monday (February 20). Additionally, nearly 18 million are in “dire” need of humanitarian assistance and 14 million are said to have been displaced in Ukraine, as per the UN report. It’s a theatre of the absurd,” said Putin, as per Reuters. He added that the West has “not achieved its goals anywhere and it will not”. He added, “And they tell their own citizens, and we hear that: that the Russians are to blame for everything. According to the United Nations Office for Human Rights (OHCHR), over 8,000 civilians have been killed since the beginning of the conflict while over 13,000 have been wounded. The ongoing conflict has also been called the biggest confrontation between Russia and the West in decades. During the speech on Tuesday (February 21), he also said that Moscow is suspending participation in the New START treaty, a bilateral agreement on nuclear arms control with the United States. “The more losses Russia suffers there, in Donbas - in Bakhmut, Vuhledar, Marinka, Kreminna - the faster we will be able to end this war with Ukraine's victory”, said Zelensky.

On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported the two leaders would meet in “the coming months,” citing people familiar with the plan. On Tuesday, China’s Foreign Minister Qin Gang reiterated Beijing’s messaging on Ukraine at a security forum in the Chinese capital. Wang’s high-profile visit, just days before the anniversary of the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, is widely believed to be a precursor to a meeting between Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping. “At the same time, we urge relevant countries to immediately stop adding fuel to the fire, stop shifting blame to China, and stop hyping up the discourse of Ukraine today, Taiwan tomorrow,” he said, in an apparent reference to the US and its allies. China was “deeply concerned” the conflict would spiral “out of control,” and would continue to urge peace talks and provide “Chinese wisdom” to bring about a political settlement, he said. “In the context of the campaign by the collective West to contain Russia and China, the further deepening of Russian-Chinese coordination and interaction in the international arena carries particular importance,” Patrushev was quoted as saying by Sputnik. “Russian-Chinese relations are developing as we planned in previous years. Everything is moving forward and developing,” Putin told reporters as he sat beside Wang. Patrushev told Wang that China and Russia should stick together in face of growing pressure from the West, citing what he falsely described as “the bloody events unleashed by the West in Ukraine” as an example. In December 2022, Putin and Xi held a virtual meeting in which the Russian leader described relations between the two nations as “the best in history,” saying they could “withstand all tests,” and invited Xi to visit Moscow in the spring of 2023. “Sino-Russian relations are mature and solid as a rock, and will withstand the test of the changing international situation,” Wang was quoted as saying by Russian state-owned news agency Sputnik. “Cooperation in the international arena between the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China, as we have repeatedly said, is very important for stabilizing the international situation.”

Russian President Putin has said he is suspending Russia’s participation in New START, the last surviving arms control agreement between his country and the US — an indication that the era of formal arms control may be about to end. The last time that Russia and the US had a decent conversation — both sides described it as “constructive” — was at Geneva in June 2021. This January, the US said Russia was in violation of the treaty as it had refused permission for inspections on its territory.

[The Russian President’s speech](https://indianexpress.com/article/world/russia-president-vladimir-putin-ukraine-war-west-state-of-nation-8458514/), which was pre-scheduled, appeared to address Biden’s promise of a military aid package that would include artillery ammunition, anti-armour systems and air surveillance radars “to help protect the Ukrainian people from aerial bombardments”. [Biden’s secretly undertaken visit](https://indianexpress.com/article/world/joe-biden-ukraine-trip-secret-plan-revealed-8457169/) to the Ukrainian capital three days ahead of the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion of its neighbour, and his promise to supply more weapons, came with an assurance to President Vlodymyr Zelensky: “It is worth fighting for as long as it takes, and that’s how long we are going to be with you, Mr President.
