Mikhail Gorbachev urges Moscow and Washington to sit down for urgent nuclear arms control talks
MOSCOW - Mikhail Gorbachev, the last Soviet leader, warned on Friday that the world was drifting into a dangerous era of militarised politics and appealed to Moscow and Washington to sit down for urgent nuclear arms control talks.
"There are dangerous trends - they are all in plain sight. I would single out two. They are the disregard for international law and the militarization of world politics," Gorbachev said. Moscow denies flouting the accord, but President Vladimir Putin has said Russia now has no option but to produce previously banned missiles to ensure its own security.
Putin has said Moscow is ready to extend the pact, but has complained about what he sees as a U.S. refusal to engage properly on the subject. U.S. officials have said it could be scrapped when it expires and replaced with something else.
