Russia's foreign minister slams 'aggressive' US policies

Acting Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov speaks during his annual roundup news conference summing up his ministry's work in 2019, in Moscow, Russia, Friday, Jan. 17, 2020.

Sergey Lavrov, who serves as acting foreign minister in the wake of Wednesday's resignation of the Russian Cabinet, said this week's meeting of top U.S. and Russian diplomats on strategic stability didn't achieve any immediate results, adding that “dialogue is continuing.” Speaking at an annual news conference, Lavrov said that the U.S. has stonewalled Russia's push for extending the New Start nuclear arms treaty that expires in 2021. The agreement is the last U.S.-Russian arms control deal still in place, and Moscow has argued that its demise will remove the final barrier stemming an arms race.

“We stand for the extension of the New Start treaty without any preconditions,” he said. “I hope that the Americans hear us, but we haven't received any coherent signals from them.”

Wait-It's called catch up time that is needed thanks to Russia and China.

Why aren't the rest of the countries in this agreement going forward with it? Surely, the U.S. can't stop the rest of them.

Both are aggressive with their own neo-Imperialistic agenda. More than a century back his long-dead predecessor Sergey Sazonov was seen going crazy to go to war with Austria-Hungarian and German empires. As they say, wild dogs never change.

Bullshit, Sergey Lavrov wants it to expire.

Trump is pro developing more nuclear weapons for the US. That's not surprising. It's also terrifying.

This guy is pure evil.

Today's Russia under Putin is remaking the Soviet Union 2.0. One that had any inkling of History doesnt have to realize why we were in a 45 year Cold War. Strong Russia=Weak USA.

If true not good.

Bunch of fake bunk - Russia never wanted that treaty

I'm not the only one who sees this guy and thinks this from The Incredible's am I?

Oh you mean the Russian asset in the White House having aggressive policies towards Russia 🇷🇺. Sorry I don’t get

Waiting for some fake-ass dirt on Biden.

America First!! Sorry, President Trump Doesn't Bend Over to Our Enemies Like Obummer!!

Hard to believe after all that help beating Bills wife.

How dare Trump stonewall his number one super pac, Trump only stonewall congress

But isn't Trump in Putin's pocket? No? That was just to attack him because Cankles lost and the plan to 'fundamentally transform America' got run over by OrangeManBad? MAGA2020

Thank goodness for the Russian ice hockey players.
