Moscow will not get involved in a new arms race in connection with the US threats to its security, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday. Russia has never rejected consultations, talks aimed at strengthening strategic stability in the new conditions, he said in Abu Dhabi. “It’s not our fault that all our numerous proposals… were left without reaction,” the minister added. He cited President Vladimir Putin who said earlier that all these proposals remain on the table, “but we will not bother our Western partners on this topic anymore.” In November last year, Putin said that Moscow will not allow anyone to drag itself into another armed race. Russia is ready to continue dialog with the US on the bilateral treaty banning medium-range missiles, he said.
