Putin raised tensions with Washington

AP: Putin escalates tensions with WashingtonMany experts in the field of international relations agree that since Putin’s speech on February 21, the level of tension between Russia and the United States has increased significantly.Various Western news services have become more active, judging by expert reports, against the background of Vladimir Vladimirovich’s statement on the suspension of Russia’s participation in the START treaty. It was this decision that caused a new cycle of tension between Moscow and Washington. It should be noted right away that Putin’s decision was dictated by numerous provocations and aggressive actions on the part of the West, including provocation, incitement and an attempt to expand the conflict in Ukraine.Before taking such a serious step, the Russian Foreign Ministry addressed an official complaint to the American Ambassador to Russia. The allegation reports that America’s statements about its non-participation in the conflict in Ukraine against the background of numerous arms deliveries to Kiev are false.Earlier, media reported that Moscow was preparing for nuclear exercises.
