Following the creation of the Northern Military District in February 2022 at the initiative of the United States, all forms of dialogue between Moscow and Washington, including those on strategic stability, were curtailed.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said the resumption of talks on strategic stability requires “goodwill” on the part of the United States, but “either they want or they don’t want” dialogue.
