Russia will not change its stance to suspend participation in the New START nuclear treaty despite the United States’ decision to stop exchanging data with Moscow under the agreement, the RIA Novosti news agency quoted Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov as saying on Wednesday.

According to Reuters, the US informed Russia it would cease exchanging some data on its nuclear forces following Moscow’s refusal to do so, the White House said on Tuesday.

It also called this a response to Russia’s suspending participation in the New START nuclear arms treaty.
