Extension of New START to help normalize Russian-U.S. relations, global situation - Senator Bondarev
MOSCOW. Jan 22 (Interfax) - Extending the Russian-U.S. Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) will help reduce international tensions and help normalize bilateral relations, Federation Council Defense and Security Committee Chairman Viktor Bondarev said. We hope that this will help reduce international tensions and normalize both Russian-U.S. relations and the global situation, Bondarev was quoted as saying by his press service.
The senator thus commented on the U.S. administration s decision to seek a five-year extension of the New START treaty.
If this decision is sincere, one can only rejoice and welcome this step, Bondarev said.

It’s difficult to know how Russia might negotiate this treaty–if at all.
Biden has at least until Friday night to appear serious to Russian negotiators by removing sanctions against Russian entities. I doubt it will happen.
The Ukraine episode of 2014 and Biden’s involvement isn’t lost on Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
We’re already at two strikes and the Russian contingent is probably slightly amused. Messrs. Putin and Lavrov could mention how Russia is surrounded by NATO bases or offer their analysis that the US dollar is essentially kaput this year or in 2022.
