MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced that Moscow will adhere to nuclear arms limits for one more year after the last remaining nuclear pact with the U.S. expires. The 2010 New START treaty is set to expire in February. Putin on Monday emphasized the importance of maintaining the status quo to avoid a strategic arms race. He urged the U.S. to follow suit and warned against actions that could disrupt the balance of deterrence. The treaty limits each country to 1,550 deployed nuclear warheads and 700 deployed missiles and bombers.
