What is the nuclear treaty from which Russia is withdrawing about? According to Victor Shlinchak, the Chairman of the Institute of World Policy, the treaty limits the number of strategic weapons and nuclear warheads, and provides for mutual monitoring of these weapons. However, Russia has not allowed experts to inspect its nuclear sites for a long time, so the condition of the warheads is unknown. Shlinchak is optimistic that the arms race will end with the collapse of the Russian Empire, as it did with the Soviet Union.
