[Regnum] If the negotiations on the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis are successful, at the next stage it will be possible to reach agreements in the area of control over strategic offensive weapons. This was stated by President Vladimir Putin on August 14 at a meeting with the top leadership of Russia, held on the eve of the Russia-US summit.

“[The US administration is making efforts] to stop the military actions, to end the crisis and to reach agreements that are of interest to all parties involved in this conflict, in order to create long-term conditions of peace between our countries and in Europe, if the next step is to reach agreements in the area of control over strategic offensive arms,” the president said.

The Russia-US summit will take place on August 15 at the Elmendorf-Richardson military base in Alaska. Putin and US President Donald Trump will talk one-on-one, followed by negotiations in delegations. Putin's aide Yuri Ushakov reported that the leaders will discuss options for achieving a long-term peaceful settlement of the crisis in Ukraine.

In February 2023, Putin announced the suspension of Russia's participation in the Treaty on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms (START-3). The head of state noted that Washington, by not complying with the treaty, was simultaneously trying to put pressure on Moscow and accuse it of not complying with the agreement. In 2024, the Russian Foreign Ministry indicated that the United States was not yet ready for either an equal dialogue or respect for Russia's interests.
