Extending New START for 5 years provides good term for work on its further extension or new document - Peskov
MOSCOW. Jan 27 (Interfax) - The consent between Russia and the United States on extending the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) has been achieved following a period of hard work, and the five-year term for which it is to be extended now is a good period of time, Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov said. Quite intensive work preceded this. You know that this work had to be sped up, as the deadline of February 6 was drawing near, he said.

MOSCOW (AP) Russian lawmakers on Wednesday quickly approved the extension of the last remaining nuclear Russia-U.S. arms control treaty, a fast-track action that comes just days before it’s due to expire.
Both houses of parliament voted unanimously to extend the New START treaty for five years, a day after a phone call between U.S. President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Kremlin said they agreed to complete the necessary extension procedures in the next few days.
Speaking via video link to the World Economic Forum s virtual meeting, Putin hailed the decision to extend the treaty as “a step in the right direction,” but warned of rising global rivalries and threats of new conflicts.
