The New START, which was extended in February, limits the number of strategic nuclear warheads, missiles and bombers that the U.S. and Russia deploy.
Moscow’s foreign ministry in the statement reported by Reuters said that the U.S. had removed 56 launchers, 41 heavy bombers and four underground missile silos from the U.S. declared arsenal but that Russia could not confirm they were no longer nuclear capable.
