Joe Biden's administration has accused Russia of delaying meetings to discuss a

nuclear arms

deal between the two countries that were set to begin today in Egypt.

The spokesman of the State Department stated that this decision was made by Russia "unilaterally".

This is reported by CNN.

"The United States and the Russian Federation intended to convene a meeting of the Bilateral Consultative Commission (BCC) on the New SNA Treaty in Cairo, Egypt, to discuss the implementation of the New SNA Treaty on Tuesday, November 29. The Russian side informed the United States that it was unilaterally postponing the meeting, and said it would offer new dates," the spokesman said.

The US is ready to move the inspections as soon as possible, as their resumption is a priority to maintain the treaty as a stability tool, he added.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation informed the propaganda news agency RIA Novosti that the negotiations were postponed, but did not name the reason for the delay.

The date of the postponed negotiations is currently unknown.

It should be noted that the new SNO Treaty limits the number of deployed intercontinental nuclear weapons that both the United States and Russia can have.

According to the treaty, Washington and Moscow conduct inspections of each other's weapons.

But due to COVID-19, inspections have been suspended since 2020.

The contract was last extended at the beginning of 2021 for five years.

According to the treaty, Washington and Moscow conduct inspections of each other's weapons.

However, inspections have been suspended since 2020 due to the pandemic, and complications arose when the US tried to resume inspections earlier this year.

We will remind, military expert Serhii Grabsky believes that

Russia has the only trump card left in the war against Ukraine

.

This is the use of nuclear weapons and strikes on our nuclear facilities.

According to Grabskyi, the Russian dictator can hope that if Russia threatens Ukraine with the use of nuclear weapons, it can force the world to refuse aid to our country. 

It should be noted that in one of the two Russian X-55 missiles, which was shot down over Kyiv on November 17, instead of a warhead, a block, which is an imitator of a nuclear warhead

, was "screwed on"
