Trump announced that Russia would "respond" to the recent Ukrainian attack on Russian airfields while reflecting on his "good conversation" with Vladimir Putin.
Strange, they both signed the same treaties yet the US usualy keeps their nuclear capable planes in hangars.
Do you have any références to pertaining treaty articles?
Like the other comment says, it must be the New START treaty, but I am no expert. It seems like it’s a Russian excuse for their carelessness however some parts of the treaty were respected so I think Putin and Trump had some topics to clarify.
On 21 February 2023, Russia suspended its participation in New START.[8] However, it did not withdraw from the treaty, and clarified that it would continue to abide by the numerical limits in the treaty.
On 2 June 2024, the United States revoked visas of Russian nuclear inspectors, describing this step as a “lawful countermeasure” to Russia’s “ongoing violations” of the treaty.
So some parts of the treaty must have been considered active.
On 1 June 2025, Ukraine claimed to have destroyed more than a dozen nuclear strategic bombers, including two Tu-160, at airfields deep inside Russia with swarms of small drones. The bombers were still parked not in nuclear strike protective bunkers, but in open-air, according to obligations under the New START Treaty with the US.
