Russia warned of tensions spilling over across regions such as Asia and Africa and warned that a U.S. failure to repair collapsing arms control treaties could destabilize global security.
Russia's leading defense officials have warned of growing conflict around the world and argued that the United States was the source of deteriorating global security.
He then called out the U.S. by name. Shoigu specifically criticized Washington's decision to leave bilateral arms control agreements such as the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces treaty in February and the Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty in 2002, a move he said"was aimed at undermining the deterrence potential of Russia and China."
Russian officials have also sought to pressure Washington into starting talks to renew another non-proliferation deal, the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty that limits their nuclear arsenals. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Congress earlier this month that President Donald Trump was interested in launching preliminary talks to extend a treaty slated to expire next year, but—as with the other failing agreements—the two rivals have struggled to find common ground for discussions.
"It is noteworthy that in order to justify their policies, Western countries classify the Russian Federation as a threat to national and coalition security," Valery Gerasimov, the head of the Russian military's chief of staff, told the Moscow conference on Wednesday."This serves as a strong argument for justifying the unleashed arms race and contributes to the deterioration of Russian-American and Russian-NATO relations, which are already at the lowest level in history.
The U.S. has arguably been the world's sole superpower since the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, but Putin has sought to challenge this title by developing state-of-the-art weapons such as new cruise and hypersonic missiles said capable of defying even the most advanced defenses. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has flexed its yet-unrivaled global reach with U.S. ambassador to Russia John Huntsman joining a dual aircraft carrier strike group Tuesday in the Mediterranean Sea.
