Pentagon deputy spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said the United States had received notification from Russia of plans to test an intercontinental ballistic missile.
Western media reported that he was supposed to test the latest Sarmat ICBM, but his launch failed. At the same time, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Sergei Ryabkov, denied these statements. He noted that prior to US President Biden’s visit to Kiev, the Russian Federation had not carried out any unsuccessful test launches of ballistic missiles.
Singh noted that the United States welcomes the opportunity to maintain dialogue with its Russian counterparts, including on testing such missiles. She said the US side had received notification through the START 3 treaty procedures. The MP wrote about it.
Earlier it became known that on the evening of February 22, information appeared in the American media citing a source in the Pentagon. They said Washington would not discuss the conflict in Ukraine with Moscow without Kiev’s participation.
