Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for the Russian Presidency ( Kremlin) said in remarks published on Tuesday that Russia will not resume participation in the Strategic Arms Reductions Treaty (START) nuclear arms reduction treaty with the United States of America (USA) until Washington hears Moscow's position.

"The collective attitude of the West" led by the United States needs to change towards Moscow, Peskov told the Russian daily Izvestia in an interview.

"The security of one country cannot be guaranteed at the expense of the security of another," Peskov said.

Last week, Russia's President Vladimir Putin issued a warning to the West about the war in Ukraine.

And he announced Russia's decision to suspend its participation in the latest START treaty, after accusing the West of direct involvement in attempts to strike its strategic air bases inside Russian territory near Ukraine.
