 In a telephone conversation on Saturday, Presidents Dmitry Medvedev and Barack Obama agreed to instruct their negotiators to schedule the signing of a successor to the 1991 Soviet-American START 1 arms reduction treaty, which expired on December 5th after 15 years in force. The likeliest signing venue is a city in the Czech Republic. Russian and American diplomats are discussing the matter at Geneva talks. The START 1 committed this country and the United States to reducing the nuclear warheads to under 6 thousand, and the delivery vehicles, to under 16 hundred on each side.
