Speaking at a ceremony to hand over credentials to the new ambassadors of a number of countries in Moscow on Thursday, President Dmitry Medvedev specifically expressed hope that the new START Treaty will be ratified in the near future.

"Both Russia and the United States are already grappling with the issue", President Medvedev said, recalling that, signed in Prague on April 8th, the updated START pact stipulates a 30-percent reduction of the two countries’ nuclear arsenals. "The document also envisages a link between offensive and defensive weapons, separately warning against deploying strategic arms on the territory of third countries", President Medvedev explained.
