Russian Duma Aprroves START Treaty


Russia's Duma (parliament) gave preliminary approval 350 to 58 to a new nuclear arms reduction treaty with the United States . Two confirming votes of the ratification under Russian legislative procedure are required in early 2011 for the new nuclear missile treaty to become binding. The linkage between offensive and defensive weapons continue to be debated in the Russian Duma.

The American Senate approved the inspection and missile limitation regime as a concluding matter of the 111th Congress of 2010. CCTV video and Russia Today video has more detail.

Whether or not, Russian and the United States will continue in tactical nuclear negotiations. NATO is in diplomatic and military planning to coordinate with Russia missile defense deployment in the future.
