Commenting on the results of the vote of the United States Electoral College on Tuesday, in which Biden was declared the winner of the presidency, Kosachev said: “The most important thing today is to extend the START-3 Agreement (the Strategic Agreement to Reduce Offensive Weapons between Russia and the United States), because time is short and the decision is not to be made before the end of January … but it is not unlikely that it will be important for Biden, and his professional diplomatic team, to return to the achievements of the previous democratic administration, which rightly considered the agreement on the limitation of strategic offensive weapons as an important achievement for him. “
The Russian MP affirmed his country’s determination to make every effort to achieve this goal.
