Moscow slams Washington for WMD performance

Moscow is discontent with the way the United States has been redeeming its pledges concerning the nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction and arms control.

The Russian Foreign Ministry enumerates, in a special report, the moves by the United States that were in breach of the START-1 treaty, as well as the treaty on scrapping medium and shorter range missiles, the conventions on banning chemical and biological weapons, and also the export control rules.

When START-1 was in effect, Russia was never once notified in advance of Trident II ballistic missile tests.

Besides, some 1,500 ionizing radiation sources got lost at several US facilities from 1996 to 2001 due to violations of radioactive material storage rules.

It is likewise known that classified information from the Los Alamos laboratory fell into the hands of a criminal group in 2006.
