0:20Now PlayingRussia and the US expect to meet in the coming weeks to talk about resuming inspections of atomic weapons sites under the New START treaty, a small step toward reviving arms-control talks suspended since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
State Department spokesman Ned Price said the Bilateral Consultative Commission will meet in the “near future” but declined to offer details. He sought to play down expectations of a breakthrough but said it was important to make sure the two countries’ ability to engage in dialogue “does not atrophy.”
“When it comes to Russia, of course we are clear-eyed,” Price told a briefing. “We’re realistic about what dialogue between the United States and Russia, both what it can entail and what it can accomplish.”
Two people in Moscow familiar with discussions around the talks said Cairo is the likely venue since Switzerland has joined sanctions against Russia over its invasion. Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov declined to comment.
Russia barred US inspectors from its nuclear weapons sites in August, citing visa and travel restrictions for Russians that it said made it impossible for them to reach the US. The two countries had suspended the on-site inspections in March 2020 because of the Covid-19 pandemic and were discussing how to restart them safely.
The BCC, which handles practical matters on how the New START deal is implemented, last met in Geneva in October 2021.
While the US has cut off most contacts with Russia over the invasion, some channels remain. In Moscow, officials have called for a resumption of broader dialogue, including on a possible successor treaty to New START. The US has said that’s not possible until the inspections resume.
