Russia will consider abolishing the nuclear material handling treaty with the United States.

Russia will review the cancellation of the treaty on the disposition of weapons-grade nuclear material signed with the United States this week!

The Russian government will review a bill on July 31st this week, which will cancel the agreement on the handling of weapons-grade nuclear material signed with the United States. If approved, the bill will be submitted to the State Duma.

The treaty was reached in 2000 and was approved in 2011. The treaty stipulates that the US and Russia will dispose of 34 tons of weapons-grade nuclear material.

"The decision to announce withdrawal is related to the sanctions imposed by the United States on Russia, mainly because the United States intends to change the procedures specified in the agreement without Russia's consent."
